Tarantino reveals who his favourite actor is – and he hasn’t cast him before

The biggest night in Hollywood is almost here. Sam Mendes' 1917 has been sweeping the precursor awards, including the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs, but Bong Joon Ho's Parasite has notched some major honors as well, including the SAG Award for best drama ensemble and the WGA's original screenplay award.

With Kate Middleton and Prince Williamjoining top movie stars in the audience, the winners of the 2020 EE British Academy Film Awards were revealed at a ceremony at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday.

Margot Robbie joked that Brad Pitt would be naming his Bafta award Harry because “he is really excited about bringing it back to the States” – as the Duke of Cambridge watched from the audience.

When this year's Oscar contenders were announced, Mark Ulano scored a rare double nomination in sound mixing for Fox/Disney's Ad Astra and Sony's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (which also garnered a sound editing nom). "I had no expectation because there are some very good films out there this year," admits the veteran sound mixer, who won an Oscar for James Cameron's historical drama Titanic and nabbed an additional nomination for Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

Quentin Tarantino’s earliest memory of Los Angeles was as a young boy visiting Grauman’s Chinese Theater, standing in the courtyard and looking at the handprints of John Wayne and Roy Rogers. He recollects the Mold-A-Rama machine outside that dispensed a souvenir wax pagoda if you inserted a quarter.

Filmdom’s battle between the haves and have-nots moved off-screen when Oscar nominations were announced earlier this month: Four films scored 10 or more nominations, with Todd Phillips’ “Joker,” leading the pack with 11, and Sam Mendes’ World War I nail-biter “1917,” Martin Scorsese’s epic gangster tale “The Irishman” and Quentin Tarantino’s retro “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” trailing a tick behind at 10 each. It’s rare for three films to land 10 or more nominations, let alone four.

This is superb. Sony Pictures has released a wonderful near 30-minute-long documentary feature titled ‘A Love Letter To Making Movies’, a featurette based around Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood and it is glorious.

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio may have known each other as acquaintances since the 90s but the Hollywood bigwigs worked together only recently, thanks to Quentin Tarantino's wild ride of a film, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. As expected, OUATIH has been garnering major buzz this award season with Brad picking up one big win after another. Recently, the Ad Astra star was awarded the Actor for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role at SAG Awards 2020.

Brad Pitt referenced Quentin Tarantino’s foot fetish and his headline-making marriages in a wide-ranging speech while accepting the Screen Actors Guild Award for male actor in a supporting role.

Quentin Tarantino is working on a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spin-off series based on fictional TV show, Bounty Law.
