We've relaunched the Prestige Junkie pundits page which means I actually have to start writing down what I think will be nominated for Oscars instead of just accusing other people of being wrong. Tough gig! The new site looks great, join us there why don't you anklerpundits.com

I did most of my best work at Vanity Fair while working remotely, and it bums me out that Conde Nast is willingly letting go of talented people in the name of some vaguely defined corporate mandate.

This week’s paid Prestige Junkie episode answers an important question: why am I slaughtering @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and @chrisvfeil.bsky.social in our Fall Festival Deaft?

Extremely curious about the conversations surely happening within The Academy right now about how to make their own version of this statement

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"What’s the point of spending billions building a giant streaming platform if your whole company can be held hostage by some Yeehaw Affiliate Cowboy?"

Guys if we pool our money we could do this and figure out the logistics later

You cannot keep a good man down and David is the best there is

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

maybe the sexiest a man has ever been in a movie

Hard to imagine a better final starring role than this one

The delightful @kateyrich.bsky.social joins us to chat INTOLERABLE CRUELTY this week, and we are all exposed…as fans of this movie! Episode out now, everywhere you listen to podcasts!

Emmy winners Jeff Hiller and Katherine LaNasa spent years playing smaller parts before their breakout hits. @kateyrich.bsky.social and @chrisjrosen.bsky.social sense The Television Academy wants to reward "journeyman" hard-working actors. Full Emmy breakdown: theankler.com/p/the-good-b...

This is so glorious and why awards shows are the best, forever, period.

So cool to see Cristin Milioti bring theater kid energy to her #Emmy win as best actress in a limited series for The Penguin. She did amazing work that I never thought the TV academy would be smart enough to honor. "I love acting so much! Whoo!!!"

Just a few more minutes before @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and I get started on our live Emmys watch along, for paid Prestige Junkie After Party subscribers only. How could you possibly miss it! prestigejunkieafterparty.substack.com

Our TIFF studio team shared exclusive gossip, like Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac's spontaneous cover of Cat Stevens' Father and Son. Get the full video and watch @kateyrich.bsky.social and @chrisjrosen.bsky.social 's Emmy coverage tonight: prestigejunkieafterparty.substack.com/p/what-reall...

Oh hey, I’m back on @blankcheck.bsky.social this week talking about a severely underrated Coens classic. If you ever find yourself forgetting that Kershner was in Kentucky this is the episode for you

Hamnet was undeniably the most talked about movie of TIFF so the audience award win makes perfect sense, but is still pretty remarkable for a movie that is also the saddest thing you have seen in your entire life

Going live soon on Substack for all After Party paid subscribers!

Big happenings for paid subscribers at Prestige Junkie After Party — today at noon we're going live on Substack to recap TIFF with some special guests, and Sunday night we're going live during the ENTIRE EMMYS. Imagine a watch party with me and @chrisjrosen.bsky.social and you're invited!

I am rooting for TWO different Creators Leagues in the @vulture.com movie draft this year, both the FITWarriors and the Prestige Junkie crew. Pick either of them and lets fight to the death! www.vulture.com/movies-leagu...

At this point in the feat TIFF is filled with people who just want to go home and see their families, so it’s appropriate that Train Dreams premiered tonight and emotionally destroyed everyone

Duolingo also feeling the festival fever I see

My review of Hamnet: ever see a movie and you can’t talk about it with your friend afterwards because you both just start crying again?

I have been telling people that Cooper Hoffman in this movie is like late 90s Vince Vaughn and the way their eyes light up, I had no idea how badly we needed this

Absolutely packed day in the interview studio (find The Ankler on YouTube to catch up on what we’ve done so far) and wrapping up with my onstage chat with Joel Edgerton, with tickets still available for anyone in town!! www.ticketmaster.ca/the-ankleras...

I swear this is not the festival fever talking: Josh O’Connor should get a best actor nomination for Wake Up Dead Man

It’s been true for months but it remains so funny that the Triangle area of Durham-Chapel Hill-Raleigh is full of Wesleyan graduates doing typical crunchy things like social work and public radio… and now there’s also Bill Belichick

The best thing you could do for @joereid.bsky.social 's birthday is absolutely ace this Cinematrix

Traitors is full of memorable and hilarious moments. But self-appointed "castle bitch" Alan Cumming's favorite? When a Real Housewife falls in a loch. Full conversation with @kateyrich.bsky.social at Televerse: theankler.com/p/alan-cummi...
