The Apple TV+ limited series “Lessons in Chemistry” tells the story of Elizabeth Zott (Brie Larson), a brilliant chemist struggling against the blatant sexism of the 1950s science community before taking her skills and empowering women over the airwaves through a science-driven cooking show. But how did the artists behind the scenes transport us to the era? We spoke with editor Geraud Brisson, hair department head Teressa Hill, cinematographer Jason Oldak, composer Carlos Rafael Rivera, supervising sound editor Perry Robertson, and production designer Cat Smith for a special “Making Of” panel. Watch our entire discussion above.
SEEEmmys spotlight: Lewis Pullman scores top marks in ‘Lessons in Chemistry’
For Hill, “the shapes that we create on set” with the hairstyles “actually help to tell the story.” She explains, “You have to research the economic status of a character. You have to take into consideration the storyline as well. Like with Elizabeth Zott,...

Best Picture favorite “Oppenheimer” and “The Holdovers” were the drama and comedy editing winners at the 74th Ace Eddie Awards, March 3 at UCLA’s Royce Hall. “Oppenheimer” editor Jennifer Lame is now a step closer to winning the Oscar for deftly balancing Christopher Nolan’s interlocking, subjective POVs of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Best Actor nominee Cillian Murphy) in color and adversary Admiral Lewis Strauss (Best Supporting Actor nominee Robert Downey Jr.) in black-and-white.
The other Oscar nominees are “The Holdovers” (edited by Ace president Kevin Tent), Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Anatomy of Fall,” and “Poor Things.”

“Coda” started as “a scrappy production with few resources and filmed in a short amount of time,” says writer-director Siân Heder. But it earned the audience favorite award at Sundance and has chalked up other honors recently, including the key best-acting-ensemble at the Feb. 27 SAG Awards. It is nominated for three Oscars: supporting actor Troy Kotsur, adapted screenplay and best picture. And if its underdog/Cinderella status continues, it could take all three on March 27.
Producers Philippe Rousselet and Patrick Wachsberger wanted an English-language remake of the French “La Famille Bélier.” Heder pitched the idea of setting it in a fishing family, with a more authentic depiction of deafness.
Heder then began “an immersive research phase,” which included learning Asl. “I felt Asl is a lynchpin to understanding deaf culture. I approached the script in the way I’d always approached writing. But I realized this ‘radio play in my...

According to Gold Derby predictions, “Coda” will receive three Oscar nominations on the morning of February 8, 2022 (see below). The Apple TV Plus family drama stars Emilia Jones as the only hearing person in her deaf family. The girl’s desire to be a singer and go to college causes a rift with her parents (played by Marlee Matlin and Troy Kotsur), who want her to stay home and help out with their fishing business. “Coda,” which stands for “child of deaf adult,” was recently recognized at the SAG Awards in the film ensemble category and for Kotsur in the supporting actor race.

When it comes to predicting the Oscar winner for Best Film Editing, you can’t go wrong by looking for the movie with the most cuts. Past winners “The Bourne Ultimatum” (2008), “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2016) and “Ford v Ferrari” (2020) included high-octane action sequences with frenetic cutting. And a slew of other champs — including “Saving Private Ryan” in 1999, “Black Hawk Down” (2002), “The Hurt Locker” (2010), “Hacksaw Ridge” (2017) and “Dunkirk” (2018) — have been war pictures. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2021 Oscar predictions for Best Film Editing.)
Oscar voters also embrace film editors who skillfully juggle multiple storylines, as was the case with “Traffic” (2001) and “Crash” (2006). And they like films that expertly inter-cut music with images, such as “Cabaret” (1973), “Chicago” (2003), “Whiplash” (2015), “Bohemian Rhapsody” (2019) and last year’s winner “Sound of Metal.” Special effects extravaganzas like “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2004) and “Gravity” (2014) won by deftly blurring the lines between the real and the fantastic.

The editing on “Coda” is very natural and unobtrusive, and that’s exactly what editor Geraud Brisson intended. Much like the cinematography and other craft departments, the film’s editing does not call attention to itself in an obvious way but nonetheless manages to subtly guide and enhance the story. “I think the natural rhythm of the film respects that and came out of that as well,” says Brisson in an exclusive new interview for Gold Derby. Watch the full video chat above.
“Coda” tells the story of Ruby (Emilia Jones), a teenager who is the only hearing member of her family, including her father (Troy Kotsur), mother (Marlee Matlin) and brother (Daniel Durant). Among the more difficult tasks for Brisson in editing “Coda” was crafting the scenes with deaf characters as they communicate via American Sign Language. Because the hearing audience needed to understand and empathize with Ruby’s family,...
