Glad the NYT if not AMPAS did right by David Bordwell. In a review of one of his books, I once referred to him as the “capo di tutti i capi” of film studies and then had second thoughts, wondering if the term was too glib or insulting. David used it as a blurb on the paperback.

Thinking today of Victor Navasky, who died last night in New York. He was my mentor & friend & looking back, I’d say he ran my life, having put up with me as a Nation intern & then having found me so many other jobs &, arguably, a husband. He molded so many of our lives.

We mourn the loss of our friend and mentor Bertrand Tavernier, remembered not only for the films he made but for the films he loved and the stories he told. Here he is as we saw him last, regaling a couple of other passionate cinephiles at his beloved Lumière Film Festival. ❤️

After 11 years as editorial page editor of the LA Times, my husband, Nick Goldberg, is stepping down. He's had a good, long, satisfying run. For his next act at LAT, he'll become an associate editor and a regular op-ed columnist.

I bought six magazines at an airport kiosk before a plane ride yesterday and the absolute shock and gratitude of the vendor--he thanked me repeatedly for buying so many magazines--was the most depressing "state of the media" punditry I've encountered this year so far.

In my @THR cover on Scarlett Johansson, we covered her two fall movies, her Marvel future, thoughts about Woody Allen, pick for president and how Colin Jost caught her eye. Also her piercings. In other words, a lot. hollywoodreporter.com/featur… – at Burbank, CA
