Samantha Morton on the reactions to her performance in ‘THE ODYSSEY’:

“I’ve had ups and downs in my career — you work for a bit and then you’re not working for a bit. You are criticized for your physicality. It’s a tricky game. Even meeting [Christopher Nolan] was enough; everything else is very special, very personal. It validates the fact that I’m good at what I do and I care. I’m very grateful and I take it very seriously.”

@lunaensebas She’s too small in Bola, literally 3 scenes, all together, middle of the movie. She’s a bright spot, but a nom for Bola is very unlikely.

@Lulamaybelle I’m so sorry for you loss, Courtney. Wishing you and your loved ones peace and hope.

Samantha Morton on her approach to Circe in #TheOdyssey:

"It feels that she’s every woman. She’s all of us. I just really connected with that. I thought that I would bring, for want of a better word, myself into it. I just wanted to own it. I wanted to possess it and own it and be it."

Yup

[Gentleman Doofus @GentleDoofus]

Between this and AFTER THE HUNT, I’m beginning to think TÀR was one of the most influential prestige films this decade.

[Academy Anonymous @ Cannes Film Festival @AcademyAnon]

@vincentlao18 We’ve seen ROSE, and can tell you she 100% gives one of the top performances of the year, and is so worthy of oscar recognition. She’s also very good in FATHERLAND but it’s not an actors-piece.

[Academy Anonymous @ Cannes Film Festival @AcademyAnon]

Best of Cannes 2026

Ryusuke Hamaguchi's ALL OF A SUDDEN opens in theaters on November 25. Truly a soul-stirring film that I can’t wait to watch again. Had the chance to review it for @ThePlaylistNews https://t.co/GGGMI4lTHN

[Academy Anonymous @ Cannes Film Festival @AcademyAnon]

@vhscut I can tell you right now, we’ve seen FJORD, it’s very unlikely Reinsve or Stan get nominated. It’s not an acting showcase (though they’re both very good). The star is the director, the amazing Cristian Mungiu. Having seen ROSE, Hüller is incredible and more than deserving.

@bullock25 She’s way too small in Bola. Three scenes total. One section in the film (middle). She’s a highlight but no way.

[Academy Anonymous @ Cannes Film Festival @AcademyAnon]

In our opinion, having seen Bola Negra/Amarga Navidad/El Ser Querido, only one of these is a serious International oscar player (Bola). And even then, we say Bola figures into International race only.

[Zuaitz Huerta - Top Oscars @bullock25]

España llega a los Oscar con un año histórico: La bola negra, El ser querido y Amarga Navidad parten como favoritas… pero Los Domingos puede dar la sorpresa al entrar en la terna. Cannes, Goya, Netflix, Bardem, Almodóvar, Los Javis… nivel altísimo.

I guess Neon will not be able to get James Gray over the hump at #CannesFilmFestival ???

[david ehrlich @davidehrlich]

Paper Tiger not invited back… James Gray snubbed again… these awards are a mess already

[Academy Anonymous @ Cannes Film Festival @AcademyAnon]

A lot of final Cannes winner predictions are omitting any prizes for South Korea’s HOPE (distributed by Neon). Fascinating to see after the first wave of reactions following its premiere. I don’t expect it to go empty handed, but I feel equally bullish that its Oscar chances will not be dictated by tonight’s results. #Cannes #CannesFilmFestival #Cannes2026
