One response to “2/10 OSCARWEB ROUND-UP: ‘Gasland’ director fires back, Wahlberg/Russell on Aronofsky, hoping Banksy stays away”
Enjoyed the interview with Wahlberg/O. Russell on Aronofsky backing out. I don’t think there’s any backstage drama, though.
And for what it’s worth … London film critics awards are out:
The King’s Speech, Fincher, Firth, Bening, Bale, Sorkin among the winners.
Looks strangely prophetic, no? We’ll have to see.
