20th Century Fox Canada x Mr. Will would love to give Toronto and Vancouver Readers a chance to see UNSANE, starring Claire Foy. Screenings take place on Thursday, March 15, 2018.

Synopsis:
Sawyer Valentini (Claire Foy) is being stalked by a man named David (Joshua Leonard). She blocks his number on her cell phone, changes her email address, takes out a restraining order and moves many times to escape him.

She looks into support groups for the victims of stalkers and thinking she’s signing papers to become a member of a group at a mental health center, she winds up being involuntarily admitted as a psychiatric patient. Not only that, but she believes her stalker has followed her and is posing as a medical worker to get close to her. The more she insists she’s not crazy, the crazier she appears.

Her mother (Amy Irving) tries to get Sawyer released, and even goes so far as to go to the police. As Sawyer continues to see David all around her, she begins to wonder if she actually is crazy.

While many saw Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri as the favourite to win Best Picture, it still took acting honours for Leading Actress with Frances McDormand and Supporting Actor with Sam Rockwell. McDormand gave a memorable speech which had her laughing nervously, devoting her time on-stage getting all her fellow female nominees to stand together in a call for inclusion and equality.  Both The Shape of Water and this premiered at TIFF ’17 with the latter winning the coveted People’s Choice Award and the two are released by Fox Searchlight.

Dunkirk‘s win tally would come in at three with scores for Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Film Editing. Blade Runner 2049 by Canadian Director Denis Villeneuve, would win for Cinematography and Visual Effects. Disney’s Coco was awarded Animated Feature and also for Original Song with Remember Me, performed on the broadcast by Gael García Bernal, Miguel and Natalie Lafourcade. Call Me By Your Name earned one win for Adapted Screenplay. Allison Janney nabbed Supporting Actress for her work in I, Tonya, which presenter Jodie Foster who appeared on-stage in crutches, would joke that Meryl Streep was responsible for her injury, having “I, Tonya-ed” her.

The Evening was hosted by Funnyman Jimmy Kimmel who tackled head-on several issues of now including #MeToo and #TimesUp using case in point, the substantial pay gap between Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams on re-shoots for nominated All the Money in the World. Despite both being represented by William Morris Endeavor, Wahlberg was paid eight-times Williams‘ salary, although the former made right by donating his earnings to #TimesUp.

Kimmel joked that the Oscar statue is the ideal man in that he “keeps his hands to himself, never says a rude word and doesn’t have a penis. He is a statue of limitations”.  A running joke for the evening was that the winner with the shortest speech would win a jet ski in the same vein as The Price is Right, which Leading Actor winner Gary Oldman was clear he wouldn’t be winning as he took his time thanking those responsible for his success. Oldman‘s Film Darkest Hour would win also for Makeup.

See Kimmel‘s running joke with the help of Helen Mirren:

Following an outcry that the Oscars lacked diversity, that certainly was addressed full force this year and repeatedly the theme of inclusion was brought-up throughout the night.  We would see female nominees in categories like Directing (Greta Gerwig, Lady Bird) and Cinematography (Rachel Morrison, Mudbound) and first-time Nominee Jordan Peele winning Original Screenplay for Get Out. A Fantastic Woman starring Chilean transgender Actress Daniela Vega, would win Foreign Language Film.  Basketball icon Kobe Bryant also would win his first Oscar for Animated Short Film, Dear Basketball.

Complete list of winners here.

As DC Comics’ TITANS continues to film throughout the City into May, the sightings also continue!  Filming around Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market this past week, stars including the likes of Brenton Thwaites and Curran Walters have been spotted filming late into the evening.  Together with some fans, we spotted the Actors on a break as they filmed a scene at a club.  A manged vehicle and some propane were seen on-site meaning, suggesting some intense action.

As we know already, Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales) stars as Dick Grayson/Robin in the Series. Walters, who was seen recently in 20th Century Women alongside Greta Gerwig and Annette Bening, couldn’t confirm whom he will play although many fans online are speculating he will star as Jason Todd or Roy Harper. We’ll soon know we suppose!

Both Actors were amazingly-nice crossing the street to say “hi” and stop for photos with Fans. Thwaites, whose daughter Birdie just celebrated her second birthday we are told, held a cup of tea in-hand to stay warm and was a gentleman as we remembered him. Walters caught fans discussing whom he might possibly be playing and got a chuckle out of that! He tells us he is good friends with Ryan Potter (Big Hero 6), who plays Gar Logan/Beast Boy on the Series, hanging-out frequently.

Having won various accolades including the Taiwanese likeness of the Grammys, the Golden Melody Awards in which he was awarded Best New Artist, Best Producer, Best Song, Best Album and Best Mandarin Male Artist.

Tao lit-up the stage with an uplifting charisma that had fans running to the edge of the stage for Selfies. One couple even got engaged at the Show, with Tao officiating!

We had the pleasure of meeting Tao whom we consider a huge idol, bringing us closer to our heritage growing-up and he was everything we imagined. Down-to-earth, friendly and approachable.
