Telluride and Venice: Winners, Losers, and Surprises in the Fall Festival Run

IndieWire’s Screen Talk breaks down Telluride and Venice, noting Telluride’s crowd-pleasers like Cannes picks Club Kid and La Bola Negra, strong acclaim for Tender Loving Care, and ongoing Oscar chatter sparked by Fjord; You Can See Everything drew ecstatic audience reaction in Telluride, while Primetime split critics and fans. Venice offered fewer sure contenders but notable titles such as Possible Love, NAZA, Everest: The Other Side, and Woman Unknown, with Bunker generating tepid reviews. The festivals’ reactions continue shaping the fall awards race ahead of TIFF/NYFF.

Venice 2026: Oscar Favorites Are Missing From the Festival

Venice 2026 opens with a notable absence of big Oscar contenders: titles pundits hoped would launch the awards race (including The Social Reckoning, Cliff Booth, and Dune: Part Three) aren’t on the lineup due to reshoots, VFX, and marketing choices. Digger was kept off the festival, and several others may pivot to Telluride or NYFF. The festival still features strong auteur work, but the lack of marquee Oscar films has analysts buzzing about Venice’s grip on the awards season, with only Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine seen as a clear Oscar contender this year and room for a surprise later in the season.

Counting Emmy Slots: How Nominations Are Allocated in 2026

Voting for the 2026 Emmy nominations is underway through June 22, and the Television Academy uses a proportional system to decide how many nominees each category may have, with Comedy Series and Drama Series still capped at eight. For most categories, slots scale with submissions: 20–80 submissions = 5 slots, 81–160 = 6, 161–240 = 7, 241+ = 8, while eight-to-19 submissions are divided by four and rounded to determine slots. Acting categories are kept in parity with their genre group, and categories with zero to seven submissions are peer‑screened, with up to two nominees if they clear 70% approval. Writing and Directing slots also shifted in several categories, including reductions in Drama Directing, Limited/TV Movie Directing/Writing, and Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). The piece then lists the current year’s slot counts beside last year’s figures.

How COVID Redefined the 93rd Oscars: An Oral History

An oral-history of the 93rd Academy Awards shows how COVID-19 forced a yearlong, door-to-door adaptation: eligibility moved to streaming, drive-in hubs emerged around the world, and a filmlike Union Station ceremony was staged with strict safety protocols under Steven Soderbergh and Stacey Sher. The night centered on nominees’ personal stories, included global hubs and remote appearances, and honored Chadwick Boseman during a year of upheaval; it culminated with Anthony Hopkins winning best actor, a controversial ending that paired with record-low viewership to create a surreal, human night.

WGA Awards 2026: Sinners and One Battle After Another Lead Screenwriting Wins

At the 2026 WGA Awards, One Battle After Another won Adapted Screenplay and Sinners won Original Screenplay, as New York hosted the East Coast ceremony with Roy Wood Jr. presenting; the event served as one of the last major precursors before the Oscars, with Adapted nominations closely mirroring the Academy Awards and Original overlap limited to two titles. The WGA West ceremony was canceled due to a strike, and honorary awards were given to Stephen Colbert, Terry George, and Diana Son, with a full slate of winners and nominees across drama, comedy, animation, and documentary categories.
