Deadline Awards Columnist Pete Hammond talks with ENTV’s Brian Corsetti about this Saturday’s “The Contenders” event at the Landmark Theatre in West LA. Pete discusses the Media Moguls panel of studio chiefs; how the new Oscar nomination schedule will challenge some late-arriving films; and which films and performances are already looking like serious contenders for this year’s awards.


Dear Pete Corsetti,
Thank you for revealing what Jack Black character does to another character…Now I’m just dying to see “Bernie”.
Congrats to DH for putting this together. Were it not for a conflict with SC football on Saturday…I would love to attend.
Hope it is SRO.
Why is Deadline and other press blocking any kind of coverage on Spring Breakers successes? It did brilliantly at Venice (standing ovation), Toronto, Tokyo, Sitges snd even recently at AFI festival.
I know the Oscars can be closed minded as they have probably picked their winners in advance. However, this site should be informative and detail all, especially from AFI but fails to report more on this particular movie = why?
Even with lots of critics and importantly the fans that have seen this movie in advance say James Franco performance is outstanding and should be considered for an Oscar? I think the Director too deserves an Oscar nod.
Anyway, I thought it should be noted, since it seems to be blacklisted on here. Hopefully, you don’t delete my post.
Sometimes, anything that makes sense gets deleted on this site.
I just want fair coverage that might be considered for Oscar race, even the long shots.
