@DonaldClarke63 The rule is that creative control of the film must have been predominantly in the hands of people from the submitting country. But I guess they don't follow it

@peterbrndt Well, not if it’s a genuine co-production — which it seems to be. Just as France submitted IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT this year.
English
There is some doubt as whether it's less than 50% in English, but, if it is (and I think that's the case) then I assume this frees up a space for one of the co-producing nations to submit something else. I guess that is how it works.

Under the Academy new rules, Cannes winner 'Fjord' joins Berlin winner 'Yellow Letters' and Sundance winner 'Shame and Money' as automatically eligible for entry into the International Feature Film Oscar race without the need for a country to submit them. #Cannes #Oscars

@DavidOpie @metroweekly Sounds like a good reason for them not to, lol

I originally gave #TheBoys final season three stars (in my @metroweekly debut!!), but those last two episodes knocked it down to two for me. It’s times like this I wish more streamers would provide access to the whole series for review ahead of launch.

FJÖRD is another densely conflicting moral drama from Cristian Mungiu. Enjoyed the cheeky provocations about… what? Progressive fascism? But the bandwagon-jumping right also gets a dig. My main question: what the hell did Norway do to Cristian Mungiu? #cannes2026

#Eurovision2026 is making Me feel like I should only have created six continents.

@scottygb Well he was right, they got a huge amount from the televote. Came second. Graham was almost on the money

Graham Norton says that Israel winning Eurovision is likely, saying they have been having points steadily in the jury and will be awarded many public votes.
“If they are this high, I guarantee they will win,” he said.

@RadioTimes Graham was brutal: "Presenting isn't rocket science, until you see these two do it."

@informeren Måske federe at anmelde det efter mere end en udsendelse

Når et program vender tilbage efter så voldsomt et sammenbrud, men med nyt navn og ny vært, må man gerne kunne mærke, at redaktionen har tænkt over, hvad der skulle forandres – og hvad der var værd at bevare, skriver Rasmus Elmelund.

@peterbrndt I only care for the curtains! Of which there were none!

While at Eurovision I also have weirdly written about the bizarrely fascinating history of opera curtains nytimes.com/2026/05/15/art… I fully recommend reading a 54-page book chapter on the topic, as linked to in the piece

#YSLBeauty places #AustinButler at the center of MYSLF Eau de Toilette Intense, the newest addition to its MYSLF fragrance collection. The actor and global ambassador gives the launch a direct link to performance, image, and modern masculinity, carrying the scent’s message through a campaign focused on confidence and self-expression. YSL Beauty describes the fragrance as “minerally fresh, intensely musky and radically sensual,” setting the tone for a release built around clean intensity and skin-level warmth.

Clarification is needed here; the director will NOT be a nominee or winner, they’ll be on the statue but the win is for the film.

Now, in addition to being selected by country, International Film contenders can also qualify by winning a major film festival award. It’ll be invaluable for dissident directors whose home countries would never select them. And the statuette will now include the director’s name

The Oscars just announced some juicy, long-overdue rule changes.
One biggie: An actor can now be nominated twice in the same category for separate films, as long as both performances receive enough votes. Also…

We’ve legit lost the plot. I honestly have zero idea what people are looking for these days, we needs a major shift in criticism. The movie I saw was well written, well directed, beautifully shot, insanely well performed & the sound was amazing. Are we “film” critics or not?

@noelmarydowling @DonaldClarke63 He is satirically applying the below tweet about 'Michael' (which he has previously quote tweeted) to 'Melania'. Happy to help.

We’re supposed to help paint the picture of what an audience can anticipate and this score is not even close to that picture, objectively.
