Two films released, another film shot, and Steven Soderbergh managed to still watch and read a decent amount in 2019. (Note to self: barely using his Twitter account probably helps.) So a favorite tradition continues with today’s release of his annual viewing and reading log on Extension 765, which has a surprise, oddity, or some-such at nearly every turn.
Favorites include: making it through all 181 hours of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Too Old to Die Young in seven days but taking nearly four months to finish Sergei Bondarchuk’s War and Peace; Chinatown and Richard Lester movies appearing on yet another list; he, too, watching Fleabag; seeing a version of his next movie, Let Them All Talk, just under a month after principal photography commenced. And so on and so forth.
All caps, bold: Movie
All caps, bold, asterisk: Short*

Quotation marks: “Play”

Jennifer Lopez is one step closer to getting an Oscar nomination.
J.Lo received her second Film Independent Spirit Award nomination this morning for best supporting female for Stx’s “Hustlers.” Awards buzz began building for Lopez as soon as the film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September.
While Regina King won both the Spirit Award and Oscar for supporting female last year for “If Beale Street Could Talk,” Lopez’s path isn’t as solid. Her Indie Spirit competition includes “The Farewell” favorite Zhao Shuzhen as well as newcomers Taylor Russell (“Waves”) and Lauren “LoLo” Spencer (“Give Me Liberty”). Rounding out the list is Oscar winner Octavia Spencer for “Luce.” The competition at the Oscars will be even tighter with Laura Dern a likely nominee for “Marriage Story.”
Here are nine more highlights and lowlights from this morning’s nominations announcement and how it could affect some key Oscar races…...
