Weekend awards reading
With the Oscar voting deadline a month and a day away ...
• Peter Debruge looks at the diverse style of this year's animation contenders.
• Randee Dawn spotlights the actors who have been playing a long Oscar waiting game.
• Justin Chang looks at 2012: The Year in Hitchock.
• Adam Dawtrey notes that the British Independent Film Awards, taking place a week from tonight, have returned to their "funky, alternative roots," and also casts a look ahead toward February's BAFTAs. (Also note these BAFTA rules changes.)
• Sasha Stone researches whether it's unlikely for Tom Hooper or Kathryn Bigelow to win Oscars so soon after their last.
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.
