The film side is dominated by Paul Thomas Anderson’s "One Battle After Another," with 9 nominations, including a Best Actor nomination for Leonardo DiCaprio. Closely following is the Norwegian drama "Sentimental Value" with 8 nominations. On the television side, the third season of "The White Lotus" is the clear frontrunner with 6 nominations, including multiple nominations for its supporting cast.


So far, (8:36 PM Jean Smart, last), I do not know why, the last person on each list, alphabetically, has won.

VR AS A PRODUCTION TOOL IN HOLLYWOOD: LION KING


 WIRED magazine has a very interesting article: they're on set, as Jon Favreau uses Virtual Reality to create a new look for the new LION KING from Disney.

https://www.wired.com/story/disney-new-lion-king-vr-fueled-future-cinema/

 The "look" is something more than pure motion capture or animation can achieve.

 The new LION KING film is scheduled to open July 19, 2019.
Here's the official trailer:
Currently, James Cameron is making a sequel or two... or four of AVATAR using VR.  AVATAR (in the IMAX version) is the single most impressive film ever made in 3D.  Cameron is possibly the most focused, intense director at work today. His new AVATAR could be spectacular.

 AVATAR 2 is scheduled for release on December 17, 2021.

AVATAR (3D IMAX)


Avatar -- the 3D IMAX version -- is one of the most important, and greatest films ever made. It is a stunning directorial achievement, and a transporting experience to watch.

It would be crazy for any other film to win "Best Picture" or anyone other than James Cameron to win "Best Director."

Cameron enables new technology to extend the world of the film image into the third dimension better than it has ever been done. The world of the film has a feeling of magic on the one hand, and realism on the other.

It points the way to a whole new legion of 3D films that become qualitatively different when extended into the third dimension.

Visually, Cameron's planet is literally a new place, creative in its concept, beautiful and complex in its design and rendering.

His story is sparse and archtypal, and the theme -- paradoxically -- is the priority of nature over technology.

AVATAR is a film that must be seen by anyone interested in the nature/future of film, and it must be seen in 3D IMAX. Anything else is another film.

BRAIN POWER


Experiments with primates and humans have demonstrated the possibility of reading a creature's thoughts and using that to control robotic devices. (See video below.)

In both Avatar and Caprica the idea is used that thinking about moving can be used to guide an avatar.

In The Diving Bell & The Butterfly -- a film based on a real experience -- a person almost totally paralyzed is able to communicate by using the tiny control he has over one muscle to signal the full life going on within his head. It is like sending a stream of information through a slow, low bandwidth connection: the process is slow, but the quality of information is unrestricted.

A new study takes this idea one step further. Patients who were totally paralyzed (and clinically believed to be vegetative, since they had minimal or no response to stimuli) were able to visualize scenes in their brain that were measurable through a functional MRI.

In fact, it was possible to ask a question with a yes or no answer and have the patient answer by thinking of one scene or the other, with the observation from the fMRI able to distinguish the yes scene from the no scene.

Since a binary code (yes/no) can be used to express any message, in principle a patient who is able to think can communicate fluently without moving at all.

For the person conducting the study to communicate with the patient, it is obviously necessary for the patient to hear (or have some other sense that allows input). This study showed that in some patients who are totally immobile there is still an active life going on in the brain and an ability to hear. It is possible that in some cases where the patient does not hear but still has a life going on in their brain, that there could be some other method of communicating with them.

This was a very limited study, but certainly suggests the value of confirming this study and developing more powerful techniques for communication.

In any case, the fact that some percentage of totally immobile (and apparently vegetative) patients may in fact be alive and aware and capable mentally provides strong motivation for developing ways to communicate with them, and provides a strong motivation and reason for their friends and relatives to visit regularly and talk with them.
