No one is as well fed as fans of Steven Knight. We've got a release date for A Thousand Blows, House Of Guinness on the horizon, and the Peaky Blinders movie just wrapped filming. The film would have probably been Knight's most anticipated project anyway, but Cillian Murphy's...

With the acclaimed series wrapped, attention turns to the Peaky Blinders movie to bring audiences back to the world of Tommy Shelby and the Peaky Blinders boys. Ever since the sixth and final season of Peaky Blinders, fans have been clamoring for the long-teased Peaky Blinders movie, which would presumably wrap up the story. While details are still rather scant, what is known about the Peaky Blinders movie is enough to promise an exciting conclusion.

The show certainly finished feeling like it had more to tell, and capping off Peaky Blinders with a movie rather than 7th season is an intriguing yet understandable way forward. Peaky Blinders season 6 ended with Tommy left with a choice between seeking revenge against his enemies or continuing with a life in which the world thinks he is dead. While the ambiguity of the conclusion works well, it seems as though the movie would give...

Peaky Blinders' Steven Knight reveals plans for the franchise's future as the movie finishes filming. Knight is the creator of Peaky Blinders, an acclaimed series which ran for six seasons on Netflix from 2013 to 2022. Now, a Peaky Blinders movie is in development. The plot for the film is currently under wraps, but its cast has been announced. The Peaky Blinders movie cast will see the return of Cillian Murphy as Tom Shelby, with a supporting cast that includes Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, and Tim Roth. Tom Harper will direct a script written by Knight.

Speaking with Paris Match (translated by Sr), Knight addresses the future of Peaky Blinders, hinting at a potential follow-up show. According to the interview, filming for the Peaky Blinders movie recently wrapped on December 13. Knight is hoping that the movie will be ready for a release in 2025, but did not guarantee a date. In a similarly non-committal tease,...

Both The Substance and The Deliverance were nominated in the categories of best contemporary make-up, best contemporary hairstyling and best special make-up effects.

Wicked and Gladiator II also received two nominations each in the categories of best period and/or character make-up and best period and/or character hairstyling. It Ends With Us garnered nominations for best...

Last season, “Maestro” and “Saltburn” each took home two awards from the guild. While “Saltburn” was snubbed by the Oscars, “Maestro” was nominated but lost to “Poor Things.”

On the TV side, “Dancing with the Stars” led the way with five nominations.

Horror dominated the nominations for the 12th annual Muahs Guild Awards, with “The Substance,” “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” and the surprising “The Deliverance” each nabbing three nominations apiece. The makeup and hairstyling awards will take place Saturday, February 15, 2025, at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel.

“The Substance,” Coralie Fargeat’s body horror fairy tale starring Demi Moore, earned nominations for Best Contemporary Makeup, Best Special Makeup Effects, and Best Contemporary Hairstyling.

Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” which marks the return of Michael Keaton’s foul-mouth ghoul from the afterlife, snagged Best Period and/or Character Makeup, Best Special Makeup Effects, and Best Period and/or Character Hairstyling.

“The Deliverance,” Lee Daniels’ supernatural horror film based on the Ammons haunting case, also scored nominations for Best Contemporary Makeup, Best Special Makeup Effects, and Best Contemporary Hairstyling.

Earning two nominations were “Wicked” (Best Period and/or Character Makeup and Best Period and/or Character Hairstyling...

Coralie’s Fargeat’s “The Substance,” “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and “The Deliverance” led the 12th annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Award nominations.

The body horror of Fargeat’s “The Substance” resonated with the make-up and hair stylist guild with three nominations. Special effects artist Pierre Olivier Persin explained that Fargeat wanted to use practical effects, instead of digital CGI, where possible. 70-80% of what was seen in the film was practical, including the MonstroElisaSue creation which features at the end.

“Gladiator 2” and “Deadpool and Wolverine” each landed two nominations a piece. Other films that scored include “Shirley,” “Bob Marley: One Love” and “The Last Showgirl.”

Missing from the nominations were nods for “Maria,” “Nosferatu” and “Dune: Part II.”

In the television category, “Dancing With the Stars” landed five nominations across the hair and make-up categories.

Lady Gaga’s “Chromatica Ball Film” was also nominated, landing her personal makeup artist,...

The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild has applied the nominations for its 12th annual Muahs Guild Awards, which will be handed out in February. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is tied for the film lead with three noms alongside The Substance and The Deliverance.

The long-awaited Tim Burton sequel actually scored five noms if you count the two for a related deodorant commercial.

Also vying for Muahs are such top-grossing and/or awards-season hopefuls as Wicked, Deadpool & Wolverine, Gladiator II, Emilia Pérez, The Last Showgirl and Megalopolis. See the full list of nominees in 23 categories spanning motion pictures, television, live theater, commercials and music videos below.

On the TV side, Dancing with the Stars — which waltzed off with three Muahs in 2024 — leads everyone with five nominations, followed by Saturday Night Live and the MTV Video Music Awards with four each. The Penguin waddled away with three.

The Muahs Awards in October revealed...

The Oscars has added many different award categories across its history, with one being added after the success of a 1980s drama, The Elephant Man. The Academy Awards are easily the most prestigious awards in the movie industry, with the first ceremony taking place in 1929. Across the history of the Academy Awards, there have been many award categories that have been added and retired across the years; most recently the award for Best Sound Editing, which was retired in 2019.

In 2024, the Oscars announced the creation of a new awards category that will recognize a movie's casting decision. The first Academy Award for Best Achievement In Casting will be awarded at the 98th ceremony in 2025; this is the first new award category since the creation of the Best Feature Film category in 2001. Further new categories may be created in the future as seen in the movie industry's campaign for a Best Stunt Award.

Lily Gladstone losing Best Actress to Emma Stone was the biggest snub at the 2024 Oscars. Gladstone could win an Oscar for their performance in the upcoming sci-fi film The Memory Police, directed by Reed Morano and written by Charlie Kaufman, which would vindicate her Oscar snub. Gladstone's Best Actress Oscar loss comes down to the difference in tone and style between her and Stone's performances.

Lily Gladstone's upcoming sci-fi movie has a good chance of making up for her major snub at the 2024 Oscars. After an incredible year for film in 2023, the 2024 Oscars were truly a night to remember. Although the 2024 Oscar nominations included some big snubs, the awards themselves went to some pretty deserving winners.

Oppenheimer took home the most golden statues — including director Christopher Nolan’s very first Academy Award — at the 2024 Oscars, which was hosted once again by Jimmy Kimmel.

Christopher Nolan’s J. Robert Oppenheimer biopic led the pack with 13 nominations and ultimately won best picture, best director, best actor (Cillian Murphy), best supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), best cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema) and best original score (Ludwig Göransson). It was followed by Poor Things, which won four awards (including best actress for Emma Stone) and was nominated for 11. Killers of the Flower Moon earned 10 noms but left the show empty-handed, while Barbie was nominated for eight Oscars and won best original song for “I’m Just Ken.”

The 96th Oscars were held on Sunday, March 10 at Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. Those who missed the live telecast can stream the ceremony on demand on Hulu.

Many of the Oscar-nominated movies are...

Greta Gerwig tells me there’s “no resistance” from her about the possibility of Barbie 2.

The challenge for her she says, is how to tackle a follow-up movie. Initially, the filmmaker wasn’t “feeling” the idea of a sequel, but now she’s warm to such a situation. “I’m not dismissing it, I want to do it,” she says, but there’s a heck of a lot to discuss first with Mattel, Margot Robbie, Warner Bros Discovery, producer David Heyman and all of her creative collaborators.

Also, there’s rather a lot on her plate as she puts the architecture in place to shoot Narnia for Netflix, and Gerwig revealed that she’ll return to London to soon resume the very early stages of pre-production in the UK.

It was a good night out for UK and Ireland talent at the 2024 Academy Awards.

UK-born Nolan’s Oppenheimer sweep is a victory of sorts for the UK, although the film is a US production, produced by the UK’s Emma Thomas. The film enabled a key triumph for Ireland, with its lead Cillian Murphy being the first Irish-born actor to win a best actor prize at the awards, with Murphy beaming in his acceptance speech: “I’m a very, very proud Irish man standing here tonight.”

Should any Americans be concerned following the Academy Awards ceremony, no, they haven’t missed Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day in the U.S. is still May 12, a good two months away. In the U.K., however, it was the night of the Oscars, March 10 — and given the number of Brits that took to the stage to give acceptance speeches and thank their mothers, it’s understandable if many viewers stateside got confused (and a little panicked).

Regardless, for a period of time on Sunday night, it looked like the Oscars were going to be a solely U.K. affair.

Back-to-back craft wins for “Poor Things” saw a steady procession of Brits take to the stage at the Dolby Theater, including Holly Waddington (best costume design), Nadia Stacey, Mark Couler and Josh Weston (best makeup and hairstyling) and James Price and Shona Heath.

Then there was one of the night’s biggest below-the-line shocks,...

It was a good night for the UK at the 96th Oscars. Brits won in seven separate categories at the Dolby Theatre, with Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Glazer’s wins the highest profile.

Nolan scooped Best Director and Best Picture, the latter alongside his wife, Emma Thomas, for the night’s standout winner, Oppenheimer. Universal’s film about J. Robert Oppenheimer and his Manhattan Project took home seven statuettes, having been widely tipped for glory after a stellar awards season and handed Nolan his first Best Director win.

After thanking his wife and production partner, Emma Thomas, and others such as brother and Westworld creator Jonathan Nolan, Nolan added a sprinkle of hope to the sauce in a message to the Academy.

“Movies are just a little bit over 100 years old — I mean imagine being there 100 years into painting or theatre. We don’t know where this incredible journey is going from here,...

Oscars 2024: Oppenheimer & Poor Things ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

We are finally done with the Oscars 2024! Christopher Nolan won his first Academy Award for Oppenheimer, and Emma Things won her second Best Actress Award for Poor Things. Jimmy Kimmel made jokes; some landed, and some didn’t. Ryan Gosling performed on ‘I’m Just Ken’ with a pink twist! But who won the most awards? Well, we have made a note of everything.

If you think, just like the theatres, the competition for awards happened between Barbie and Oppenheimer, you are wrong. The Christopher Nolan directorial competed fiercely with Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things. So, who emerged victorious in the race for the most awards at the Academy this year?

Poor Things or Oppenheimer – Who Broke The Academy Awards in 2024? Poor Things

The Yorgos Lanthimos’ directorial stars Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalp, Margaret Qualley, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbot and Kathryn Hunter.

Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier, and Josh Weston won the award on Sunday night instead of the team who did Bradley Cooper’s makeup for Maestro.

The 49-year-old’s film was expected to win, but perhaps the online controversy surrounding his use of a fake nose to portray Leonard Bernstein prevented it.

Jimmy Kimmel took aim at the A-list crowd at the 96th Academy Awards, so he took this opportunity to throw some shade at Cooper’s Oscar snub, too.

Jimmy Kimmel Mocked Bradley Cooper’s Fake Nose in Maestro

Bradley Cooper‘s film Maestro lost the Best Makeup award to Poor Things at the 2024 Oscars, surprising many after the controversy over the Hollywood star wearing a prosthetic nose to play Leonard Bernstein.

Oppenheimer dominated the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday (March 10), winning seven Oscars, including best picture, after going into the ceremony with 13 nominations.

The epic biographical drama from British filmmaker Christopher Nolan, already winner of the Bafta and Producers Guild of America best film awards as well as the Golden Globe for drama feature, also brought Nolan (himself winner of the Bafta and Directors Guild of America directing awards) his first directing Oscar.

Oppenheimer delivered other statuettes to Nolan’s producing partners Emma Thomas and Charles Roven, Ireland’s Cillian Murphy as lead actor and Robert Downey Jr as supporting actor.

The Oscars have arrived! The 96th Academy Awards honoring the best film achievements of 2023 were the culmination of an eventful year that brought a wide range of cinematic experiences, from the blockbuster “Barbenheimer” phenomenon to the chilling art house drama “The Zone of Interest.” So what did it all mean when the envelopes opened and the trophies were handed out on March 10? Scroll down for our live blog where I break down who won, who lost, who upset, and how it all fit into the story of this awards season.

Despite two historic strikes, shifting release schedules, and the ongoing risk of coronavirus, Hollywood had a lot to celebrate at tonight’s 96th Academy Awards. If there was a message to take away from this year’s awards season, it’s that 2023 was a very good year for movies.

My, how much the race has evolved since the 96th Oscars nominations were announced January 23. We won’t say changed, since it seems like the certain sure bets at that time have become even surer bets. You all know “Oppenheimer,” long considered a frontrunner in many categories,” received the most nominations then with 13, followed by “Poor Things” with 11 and “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10. Well, tonight, this evening of Sunday March 10 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles at 7:00pm Et, we’re finally gonna see if what we all assume to be true is actually going to pan out: That “Oppenheimer” is teed up for a very big night, as IndieWire’s own Anne Thompson has predicted, with her final Oscar picks, herself.

“Oppenheimer” has won top honors at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, BAFTAs, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. Surely Oscars domination is next, right?...

Ask anyone who has been in the thick of awards season and they’ll likely let out a huge sigh followed by exasperated admission that this has been one of the most hectic runs in recent memory.

2024 Oscars Predictions:

Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling “Poor Things” – Willem Dafoe

Weekly Commentary: Another deathmatch between two movies — Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic “Maestro” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ sci-fi comedy “Poor Things.”

“Maestro” won big at the Makeup and Hair guild while “Poor Things” took home the BAFTA prize.

Last year, Brendan Fraser won Best Actor for “The Whale,” which also won Best Makeup and Hairstyling for artists Adrien Morot, Judy Chin, and Annemarie Bradley. This is a combination of Oscar categories that have popped up several times over the years. But could it happen again this year? Well, theoretically, yes.

The brilliant makeup artist Kazu Hiro, also known as Kazuhiro Tsuji, turned Bradley Cooper into Leonard Bernstein in Netflix’s “Maestro.” Kazu Hiro landed himself an Oscar nomination for Best Makeup and Hairstyling alongside Kay Georgiou and Lori McCoy-Bell. Meanwhile, Cooper is nominated for Best Actor.

Along with “The Whale,” several other movies have done well with this pair of Oscar categories. In 2018, “Darkest Hour” won Best Actor for Gary Oldman and Hiro won Best Makeup and Hairstyling alongside David Malinowski and Lucy Sibbick. In 2014, “Dallas Buyers Club” won both awards, too, with Matthew McConaughey winning for acting...

The films up for the 2024 Best Makeup and Hairstyling Oscar are “Golda,” “Maestro,” “Oppenheimer,” “Poor Things,” and “Society of the Snow.” Our current odds show that “Maestro” (10/3) is favored to win, followed in order by “Poor Things” (71/20), “Oppenheimer” (9/2), “Society of the Snow” (9/2), and “Golda” (9/2).

This lineup is the category’s second in a row to include a 54% first-timer majority, thus constituting a new trend after 70% remained the norm for the preceding half decade. The present rookie subset consists of “Golda” trio Suzi Battersby, Karen Hartley Thomas, and Ashra Kelly-Blue as well as one artist from each other film: Luisa Abel (“Oppenheimer”), Ana López-Puigcerver (“Society of the Snow”), Lori McCoy-Bell (“Maestro”), and Josh Weston (“Poor Things”).

McCoy-Bell and Weston share their respective nominations with Kazu Hiro and Mark Coulier, each of whom succeeded on two of his previous four outings. While Coulier won for “The Iron Lady” (2012) and “The Grand Budapest Hotel...

A few days before the 96th Academy Awards ceremony, Yorgos Lanthimos’s Best Picture nominee, Poor Things, makes its streaming debut on Hulu on March 7. Akin to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein tale, Poor Things tells an unbelievable story about the fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter. Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.

Poor Things could dominate the Oscars this year with 11 nominations in various categories. You can check out the complete list of potential awards for this bizarrely charming film below:

Poor Things Movie (Picture Credit: IMDb)

Poor Things is one of the most discussed movies of 2023, along with Oppenheimer and Barbie. The film stars Emma Stone in the lead role, has won several accolades, and received the Oscars 2024 nominations, too. When the film was released in 2023, critics and audiences praised it heavily.

The film is based on Alasdair Gray’s novel of the same name. The cine buffs who missed watching it on the big screen are eagerly awaiting the movie’s digital release. You don’t have to wait any longer, as the movie will finally be available to stream online. Read to know when and where it will be released digitally, along with other essential details like the cast and premise of Poor Things.

Poor Things Cast

The film stars Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, Wille Dafoe as Dr Godwin Baxter, Mark Ruffalo as Duncan Wedderburn, Ramy Youssef as Max McCandles,...

“Oppenheimer” won big at the BAFTA Awards, taking home seven gongs including Best Picture and Best Director for Christopher Nolan. But Searchlight Pictures’ “Poor Things” was close behind with a total tally of five victories.

The Yorgos Lanthimos movie won Best Actress for Emma Stone, Best Production Design for Zsuzsa Mihalek (who wasn’t present), Shona Heath, and James Price, Best Costume Design for Holly Waddington, Best Makeup and Hair for Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier, and Josh Weston, and Best Visual Effects for Simon Hughes.

The first of the below winners to speak to the press was Hughes, who discussed his role in creating the world of “Poor Things.” “That’s where you have to acknowledge Shona Heath and James Price, the two production designers on the film because it’s their vision. And they were very clear with us. And even starting off, we were given a 200 page document...

“Maestro” did well at the Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild on Feb. 18 winning two of its three bids. It claimed the prizes for both period/character makeup and special effects races but lost period/character hairstyling to “Barbie,” which was snubbed by the Oscars. Likewise for “Saltburn,” which won both contemporary makeup and hairstyling.

Of this year’s other Oscar nominees, “Poor Things” lost all three of its bids just hours after pulling off an upset at the BAFTAs, “Golda” and “Oppenheimer” were each defeated in a single race while “Society of the Snow” was snubbed by the guild.

These wins boost the odds for “Maestro” to prevail at the Academy Awards. In the decade-long history of these guild honors, there has been just one year when an Muahs winner did not go on to claim the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

That was two years ago: “Coming 2 America...

The Oscar-frontrunning “Maestro” was the big winner at the 11th annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards (held February 18 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel). Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein opus took period/character makeup and special makeup effects. This puts “Maestro” in the Oscar driver’s seat (led by two-time winner Kazu Hiro) against “Poor Things,” “Oppenheimer,” “Golda,” and “Society of the Snow.”

Two non-Oscar competitors, “Saltburn”and “Barbie,” split the other wins: Emerald Fennell’s psychological thriller grabbed both contemporary makeup and hairstyling, while Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar blockbuster snagged period/character hairstyling.

TV winners, meanwhile, were divided among “The Idol” (contemporary makeup), “The Crown” (period/character makeup), “The Last of Us” (special makeup effects), “The Morning Show” (contemporary hairstyling), and “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” (period/character hairstyling).

As previously announced, Annette Bening (Best Actress nominee for “Nyad”) received the Distinguished Artisan Award, and Oscar- and Emmy-winning make-up...

The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild (IATSE Local 706) announced winners of its 11th annual awards on Saturday, with Amazon MGM Studios’ Saltburn taking home two Muahs Awards for best contemporary make-up and best contemporary hair styling. Netflix’s Maestro also picked up a pair of honors for best period and/or character make-up and best special make-up effects.

Warner Bros.’ Barbie also won in the feature film categories, taking the prize for best period and/or character hair styling.

Winners in the television categories include Netflix’s The Crown, HBO’s The Last of Us, Apple TV+’s The Morning Show and Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. ABC’s Dancing With the Stars won three awards for best contemporary make-up, best contemporary hair styling and best period and/or character hair styling.

“Maestro” and “Saltburn” took home the main prizes at the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (IATSE Local 706) awards.

The guild held its 11th annual awards ceremony Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The night kicked off with the honoree awards being presented. Oscar-nominated actor Annette Bening was honored with the Distinguished Artisan award. However, due to Covid, Diana Nyad accepted the award on her behalf.

Michael Westmore was presented with the Vanguard Award for his work on “Rocky,” “Star Trek,” “Mask” and “Raging Bull.” Kevin Haney received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his work on “Driving Miss Daisy,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” and “Hocus Pocus 2.”

The first awards for daytime TV had a “Moonlight” “La La Land” moment when an envelope mixup resulted in the winners for hairstyling being read out instead of makeup and the team from “The Young and the Restless” came...

The winners of the 2024 Ee Bafta Film Awards were announced tonight in a ceremony hosted by David Tennant at the Royal Festival Hall in London and broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer. The Ee Baftas celebrate the very best in film of the past year. In addition, the Ee Bafta Film Awards were streamed on BritBox International in the USA and Canada. Viewers at home also had front row seats to the red-carpet arrivals on Bafta’s YouTube, featuring interviews with nominees and other special guests. Oppenheimer took home the most trophies with seven Baftas, including: Best Film, Director for Christopher Nolan, Leading Actor for Cillian Murphy, Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., Cinematography, Editing, and Original Score. The Zone of Interest is the first film to win both the Outstanding British Film and Film Not in the English Language categories. The Bafta Fellowship was presented to actress and director Samantha Morton.

Oppenheimer dominated the BAFTA awards with 13 nominations, including wins for Best Editing, Best Score, and Best Cinematography. Robert Downey Jr. emotionally accepted the Best Actor award for his role in Oppenheimer, thanking his mentors and co-stars. Despite tough competition, Oppenheimer continues to shine as it marches towards potential Oscar glory next month.

The 2024 British Academy of Film and Television Awards very quickly became the Oppenheimer show as the movie took the Best Picture award, alongside wins for Robert Downey Jr., Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy who swept up Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, and Best Actor respectively, continuing the production’s march to Oscar glory next month.

The BAFTA’s...

The 2024 Bafta Film Awards ceremony is taking place today (February 18) at London’s Royal Festival Hall on the Southbank.

The show started at around 4:45pm UK time and finishes at approximately 8pm, and will be broadcast with a time delay on BBC One starting at 7pm. Unlike last year’s ceremony, the final categories will not be broadcast live. David Tennant is on hosting duties.

Screen will be posting all the winners on this page as they are announced during the live ceremony (refresh the page for latest updates).

Christopher Nolan’s historical drama Oppenheimer leads the nominations with 13 nods.

Some categories go together naturally, like Best Picture and Best Director. It’s no different in the below-the-line categories, either, with Best Costume Design, Best Production Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling having an interesting relationship with one another.

The three design awards are often paired or grouped together as a trio and awarded to the same film. Most recently, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” won both Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Let’s take a closer look at this trifecta of categories and examine the last 20 ceremonies to break down how often these awards overlap.

As you can see, in the past two decades, there have been 11 instances where a film has won at least two of these three design categories.

Eight films have won both Costume Design and Production Design: “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” in 2004, “The Aviator” in 2005, “Memoirs of a Geisha...

“I like the fact that we were both new to it,” says Oscar-nominated composer Jerskin Fendrix while discussing his relationship with “Poor Things” director Yorgos Lanthimos. It was the musician’s first time scoring a movie and the filmmaker’s first time commissioning original music. “There was kind of a flirty coyness to the whole process. Both of us didn’t really know what we were doing and it was very sweet.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Lanthimos reached out to Fendrix after listening to one of the songwriter’s pop albums. “We had a common ground on how humor is used in art,” he explains. “There’s a good deal of overlap in how we feel is the best way of communicating the human ideas.”
