]]>This polarizing buddy comedy was going against several major players, and we didn’t know what is going to happen until the very last moment. Green Book had strong competition in Roma, especially after Netflix spent millions on campaigning in hopes that this Mexican drama will bring them their first Oscar.
Alfonso Cuarón eventually won three awards for this film, but the best picture award wasn’t one of them. Green Book came out victorious in this category, but also won additional two awards – best original screenplay and best supporting actor (Mahershala Ali).
The cast and crew of Bohemian Rhapsody also had a lot to celebrate as the film topped the list of winners with a total of four awards. The Academy’s love for the Freddie Mercury was also shown by the invitation sent

]]>The post Mexican Drama “Roma” Wins Golden Lion at Venice Film Festival appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>The jury in Venice was headed by Cuarón’s good friend Guillermo Del Toro, who joked he only had one vote like the rest of the jurors, who also picked Roma as their absolute favorite.
Cuarón described the festival in Venice and this coveted award as incredibly important to him and thanked everyone who was a part of his journey. Golden Lion winner expressed gratitude to his leading ladies Marina De Tavira, Yalitza Aparicio and Nancy Garcia for the immense respect shown in portraying the women who raised him.
Their contribution to this project was crucial, since they were front and center in Cuarón’s most personal project to date. Roma is set in the ‘70s and is inspired by the filmmaker’s upbringing in the middle-class neighborhood of Mexico City the movie was named after.
Critics had nothing but words of praise for this film, and described it as “a richly textured masterpiece” and “cinema at its purest and most human.” We’ll have to wait a few more months to make our own judgment. Roma will be released by Netflix on December 14, with a limited theatrical rollout planned.
Here’s a look at the rest of the major winners at this year’s Venice Film Festival:
Golden Lion: Roma by Alfonso Cuarón
Grand Jury Prize: The Favourite by Yorgos Lanthimos
Silver Lion: The Sisters Brothers by Jacques Audiard
Volpi Cup for Best Actress: Olivia Colman for The Favourite
Volpi Cup for Best Actor: Willem Dafoe for At Eternity’s Gate
Best Screenplay Award: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs by Joel and Ethan Coen
Special Jury Prize: The Nightingale by Jennifer Kent

]]>Needless to say, Yorgos Lanthimos’ royal satire scored a nomination in all of the major categories, including film of the year. Leading ladies Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz also received a nod in their respective categories, but it was a shocker to see Emma Stone didn’t make the cut.
London critics have also shown a lot of love for Lynne Ramsay’s underrated drama You Were Never Really Here, starring Joaquin Phoenix. This film received a total of five nods, while Roma, Cold War, and The Happy Prince followed with four. London Critics’ Circle Awards will take place on January 20, 2019.

]]>The jury in Venice was headed by Cuarón’s good friend Guillermo Del Toro, who joked he only had one vote like the rest of the jurors, who also picked Roma as their absolute favorite.
Cuarón described the festival in Venice and this coveted award as incredibly important to him and thanked everyone who was a part of his journey. Golden Lion winner expressed gratitude to his leading ladies Marina De Tavira, Yalitza Aparicio and Nancy Garcia for the immense respect shown in portraying the women who raised him.
Their contribution to this project was crucial, since they were front and center in Cuarón’s most personal project to date. Roma is set in the ‘70s and is inspired by the filmmaker’s upbringing in the middle-class neighborhood of Mexico City the movie was named after.
Critics had nothing but words of praise for this film, and described it as “a richly textured masterpiece” and “cinema at its purest and most human.” We’ll have to wait a few more months to make our own judgment. Roma will be released by Netflix on December 14, with a limited theatrical rollout planned.
Here’s a look at the rest of the major winners at this year’s Venice Film Festival:
Golden Lion: Roma by Alfonso Cuarón
Grand Jury Prize: The Favourite by Yorgos Lanthimos
Silver Lion: The Sisters Brothers by Jacques Audiard
Volpi Cup for Best Actress: Olivia Colman for The Favourite
Volpi Cup for Best Actor: Willem Dafoe for At Eternity’s Gate
Best Screenplay Award: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs by Joel and Ethan Coen
Special Jury Prize: The Nightingale by Jennifer Kent
