Great choices Austin - Winding Refn, Shannon, Swinton, Brooks, Chastain and Lubezki. Attack the Block takes out score, Senna takes out Documentary and the Austin Film Award goes to Take Shelter. Can't argue with this at all. I am yet to see Hugo but happy to see it win.
This list rocks. Any love for Drive is kick-ass enough for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little surprised to see Midnight in Paris as high as that. As much as an Allen fan I am I don't think I'd put it that high in the competition. I'm glad to see Drive as high up. But where is the love for Shame? Beginners? The Skin I live in? Just to mention a couple. I'm not perfectly happy with their choices. But again, like you I haven't watched Hugo and I'm afraid Take Shelter hasn't come up here either.
ReplyDelete@ Steven - It's pretty badass right. Love any mention of Take Shelter and Drive.
ReplyDelete@ Jessica - I really liked Midnight in Paris, but I'm not so surprised to see it ranked this high. Though there's no Tree of Life here, which is a surprise. I haven't seen Shame yet (but I can't wait) but I wasn't as high on Beginners as most people. I enjoyed it, sure, but I didn't really think much about it (save for writing a review) beyond a day or two. I was a little underwhelmed, though I thought Christopher Plummer was great and I related a little to Ewan McGregor's character. Take Shelter is worth a look. It's outstanding - as is Shannon, who deserves to win this award.
