In what was a highly anticipated Cannes competition rematch, Emilia Pérez stole the spotlight from Anora, sweeping four awards including Zoe Saldaña receiving the Best Supporting Actress nod possibly confirming that the four-person Best Actress win back in Cannes was with her as top billing.

Last night, at the Golden Globes, "Conclave," won a Best Writing Award.  Best Actor went to Adrian Brody, and like Adrian, Demi Moore won her first Globe Award ever. She was ready to give up acting when the script for "Substance," came along, and she and the film got some love in Cannes as well. The surprise of the night was the award for Fernanda Torres in, Walter Salles, "I'm Still Here."  A title many of us can relate to.  You can see the film in Palm Springs today at 5pm, and at 1:30 lon Saturday, Jan. 11, at 1:30. The  director Walter Salles will be part of a free panel today at the Annenberg Theatre in Palm Springs.

 Lead programmer David Ansen also highly recommended this film along with  many other documentaries on Liza, Bill Mackie and Billie Preston, to name a few..The festival continues through January 13th.  This is a great opportunity to watch some of the 158 films from around the world on a big screen.

I spoke with David Ansen from the PSIFF and he said "The Brutalist" and Adrian Brody were amazing.  He had just returned from London where he saw three plays, one with John Lithgow, who arrived on the red carpet for the award show gala with Ralph Fiennes, and Isabella Rossellini who lives in Rome.  When asked about all the fine restaurants in Rome, she said Stanley Tucci who was also present for the magnificent film “Conclave,” knew more.  Isabella looked radiant and said that in her role as the nun, she projected a silent power.   Most of the other actresses on the red carpet were kindly signing autographs and taking selfies, as was Timothee Chalamet once out of his limosene, rushing over to the crowd, before rushing into the ballroom. He looked like his character “Bob Dylan,” he has so embodied that role.

She was ready to give up acting when the script for "Substance," came along, and she and the film got some love in Cannes as well.

The Sun Valley Film Festival (SVFF) will return December 3-7, 2025 offering an expanded lineup of films, lively Q&A sessions, engaging Coffee Talks and intimate events for AMPAS members and special guests. These dates solidify SVFF as a pivotal destination for award-season contenders and perfectly timed before Academy Award shortlist voting begins.

The move follows the success of the Sun Valley Film Festival Winter Screening Series held December 5-8, 2024. The weekend featured critically acclaimed films, Coffee Talks, and intimate receptions and dinners. The event recognized Demi Moore with the Vision Award and Pamela Anderson and Gia Coppola with the Pioneer Award presented by Variety, and Porcelain War with the Impact Award. Screenings included The Last Showgirl, The Substance, Porcelain War, Blink, The Swim Lesson and a curated series of shorts from The New Yorker.

The Substance went on to receive five Golden Globe and seven Critics Choice Award nominations including Best Picture and Best Actress for Moore. Anderson went on to receive a Best Actress Golden Globe nomination and Porcelain War received a Producers Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Documentary. The following films were also part of the Academy Awards shortlist: Porcelain War (Documentary Feature), I am Not a Robot (Live Action Short Film), Seat 31: Zooey Zephyr (Documentary Short Film) and A Swim Lesson (Documentary Short Film).

"The Sun Valley Film Festival continues to grow as a vital platform for filmmakers and a key stop for awards-season contenders, which we showcased this year with our selection of films and honorees including Demi Moore and Pamela Anderson,” said Teddy Grennan, Executive Director of Sun Valley Film Festival. “By anchoring the festival in December, we’re not just celebrating great storytelling but creating meaningful connections between filmmakers and audiences at a pivotal moment in the industry’s calendar."

The five day festival in 2025 will continue its partnership with Deadline at the Vision Award dinner and Variety will present the Pioneer Award. The Screenwriters Lab will be back with the High Scribe award and the winner of the High Scribe Competition invited to return as a Writer-In-Residence at the historic Ernest and Mary Hemingway House. The Sun Valley JR Film Competition which highlights the work of high school students, will continue where finalist films are screened in the festival and judged by industry professionals. The festival’s 1 Potato Initiative will return to support emerging filmmakers and incentivize filmmaking in the state of Idaho. The winning script will receive $5,000 in funds towards shooting their film on location in the state. Submissions open on April 28 at Film Freeway.

"Our mission has always been to inspire and elevate creative voices, and the 2025 festival will build on that legacy,” said Candice Pate, Director of Sun Valley Film Festival. “As we expand programming across five days to feature some of the best of awards season contenders, we are committed to continuing to support emerging talent, especially with the Screenwriters Lab, 1 Potato Initiative and JR Film Competition. Sun Valley in December is poised to be an unmissable event for film lovers and creators alike.”
