Origin stories for Oscar contenders
Producers of 17 top Oscar contenders of 2012 discuss how their movies came to life, starting off alphabetically with "Amour."
Additionally, in a feature looking at this year's Oscar best picture contenders, Peter Debruge notes a general infatuation with contemporary stories (films like "Lincoln" aside).


A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
