Sgev, do you think TWC may have abandoned Mary M. as an Oscar hopeful and is just going with TCW now? I guess the Telluride line up will tell the tale of the tape in that measure.
I have to say that personally I think the subject matter of MM is far less interesting than TCW but that it just peculiar to me (although I have seen some well done "Bible" stories I don't usually gravitate to that sort of film). Even if TCW didn't star BC I would have wanted to see it. Historically based biopics/dramas are my favourite kind of film.
I loved Lion last year - it was the film that I felt the most connected to out of all the Oscar contenders.

I sincerely don't know. I just think it's weird it wasn't predicted by award pundits. Maybe they know it will be announced later.

What does this mean? Is this the venue for the opening night feature?

OBS, yes Roy T. Hall is a venue in downtown TO that I think the festival has selected for their gala films. The other venues for the festival - Princess of Wales theatre, the Elgin theatre, Ryerson (affiliated with Ryerson University) and the Winter Garden theatre, are also in downtown Toronto.

A couple of my friends asked me recently if my "boyfriend" had any new movies coming out (I have decided to accept that he will forever be referred to as my "boyfriend"). They haven't shown much enthusiasm for a movie about electricity, so I'm a bit worried about The Current War! I try to make it sound more exciting by telling them it's actually the story of Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla. It's actually Tesla that sparked their interest, because he's been in our local news a lot lately. One of our streets has been renamed Nikola Tesla Boulevard, and there are plans to put up a statue of him. It turns out that the city I live in was "the 1st major city in Canada to have AC electrical power." It happened in August 1898. I'm sure all the other cities are now jealous of us!
So I think that The Current War will have a big audience here after all, even if no one is interested in seeing my boyfriend!

They are going to be disappointed if what they show of Tesla is a caricature, according to what people here commented on the script the script.
