katikatIt looks like everybody who saw James McAvoy's new movie, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, is over the moon about it! According to Deadline:
Awesome! I hope that James gets nominated. I don't hold out hope that he will win - let's be honest, the Academy has been a farce for many years now - but a nomination would look really good next to his name - just like it looks next to Michael Fassbender's!
After a 10-minute standing ovation at its Cannes premiere this week, Harvey Weinstein is going to make a big awards-season push on The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby, and in particular the performances of Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy. Following that thunderous ovation and glowing reviews, Weinstein told his marketing team it has been a long time since he’d seen performances like these, and that they were to start working on the Oscar campaign strategy and go for it.
