I spoke briefly this week about Matthew McConaughey and his chances for Oscar attention in the Supporting Actor category for Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike. With a great showing in Cannes, Jeff Nichols’ film Mud was looking for a distributor and McConaughey is believed to deliver one of his best turns yet. It’s been announced that Lionsgate has acquired Mud but they will be releasing it in 2013.
Also, David Chase’s Not Fade Away starring Jack Huston and James Gandolfini is set to screen as Gala Centerpiece at the New York Film Festival. Is there room in the Supporting Actor category for James Gandolfini who also has a role in Andrew Dominik’s Killing Them Softly with Brad Pitt later this year.
