First Paramount Vantage, then Universal, and now Miramax Films. Studios are leaping into the online FYC phase of campaigns this season. MiramaxHilights.com is showcasing three modest enterprises for contention: John Patrick Shanley’s “Doubt,” Mike Leigh’s “Happy-Go-Lucky” (with a new poster I haven’t seen yet) and “Fernando Mereilles’s “Blindness.”
There isn’t anything available for each film yet. No screenplays or score downloads. I assume that will come in time, as will category placements. The biggest question mark for these films in that arena is whether Philip Seymour Hoffman is pushed as a lead or supporting actor in “Doubt.” My guess is still the latter.
Thanks to reader Jacob for the tip.
