Netflix FYC

-- They are quite conservative in quoting praise.  Angelina and FTKMF received more effusive raves than what they've chosen to highlight in FYC promotion.

At the moment, they are considered frontrunners or strong contenders for Best Foreign Language, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography.

Foreign Language will have the name of the film, but Adapted Screenplay will have her name and Luong's   She evidently wants to be up for consideration as ANGELINA JOLIE-PITT.   That is the name that she wants read out if she is nominated and wins, and that will be engraved on her award.  She wants to be acknowledged as Mrs. Jolie-Pitt, which allows her to formally share the experience with Brad.


-- Tarantino's mea culpa came after he released an earlier statement that had claimed he was "stunned" at the allegations.

Amber Tamblyn released Tarantino’s statement on her Twitter page at the director’s request. “For the last week, I’ve been stunned and heartbroken about the revelations that have come to light about my friend for 25 years Harvey Weinstein,” Tarantino said. “I need a few more days to process my pain, emotions, anger and memory and then I will speak publicly about it.”

Tarantino's confession that belies his earlier statement is welcome.

“There was more to it than just the normal rumors, the normal gossip. It wasn’t secondhand. I knew he did a couple of these things.”   

But his public turnabout may have been the result of outside pressure following a lengthy rebuke to all in Weinstein's circle from scriptwriter Scott Rosenberg -  'Everybody f**king knew'  - rather than from sincere remorse.
