- Welcome to the Rileys
James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo are “Doug” and “Lois Riley”, a couple devastated by the death of their daughter. After an affair “Doug” conducted ends, he heads to New Orleans on a business trip and meets “Mallory” (Kristen Stewart), a teenaged runaway/stripper/prostitute. “Mallory” reminds “Doug” of his dead daughter and he attempts to care for “Mallory” amid her squalid life. Meanwhile “Lois”, paralyzed by her grief, has become an agoraphobic but leaves the house for the first time in ages to follow after “Doug”. It’s another of those human dramas about lonely, miserable people, but it stars three actors I enjoy. Rileys has played at festivals to mixed reviews; the acting is admired but the film itself doesn’t garner as much praise. It kills me that this movie isn’t going to get any more attention than it is, but in a fall crowded with dramas, Rileys is being overwhelmed by bigger, flashier competition. It doesn’t help that Stewart, who comes with a ready-made audience, won’t be available for much press since she has scheduling conflicts with Twilight: Breaking Dawn rehearsals.
Oscar Hopefulness: 3 – Shark vs. killer whale scenario. I can’t count it out entirely because the Academy likes these actors, but the prognosis is not good. After the original distributor, Apparition, melted down this past summer, Rileys was placed with Samuel Goldwyn Films, who is disinclined to campaign for this film. And these actors, they won’t campaign for themselves, either. So there isn’t going to be much of a push, and with so many splashy dramatic performances this year, Gandolfini, Leo and Stewart are just more faces in an already large crowd. Leo, in fact, is being aggressively campaigned by Paramount for The Fighter and they won’t want to risk splitting her vote. Source: cinesnarkVia: @cupidscloud | |

| I also update Scott Feinberg blog on his 'Your daily Fix of Oscar' Kstew is not included on his prediction...as of this moment,everyday he has predicition it's either there is additional or changes of position but as of now Kstew's name is not included.So I'm a little disappointed I hope he's wrong (he is good in predicitng nominee)...I'm a little worried! Anyway there's plenty of time and her nomination is in the hands of critics,let's just hope for some miracle... | |
