Vulture's Kyle Buchanan takes a look at the thorny Best Picture category, with The Big Short, Spotlight, The Martian, The Revenant, Carol and more vying for the ten spots.

The Coen Brothers Hail, Caesar! has dropped a new TV spot.

Variety has chosen 10 directors to watch in 2016, including Don Cheadle for Miles: Ahead, Alex Garland for Ex Machina, and Laszlo Nemes for Son of Saul. 

Paramount Pictures has released this featurette on the characters of Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson's gorgeous, haunting stop-animation masterpiece Anomalisa.
