Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorVirginia’s eighth annual Middleburg Film Festival has announced Chloe Zhao’s “Nomadland” as its opening night film. Lee Isaac Chung’s critically acclaimed family drama “Minari” will be the festival centerpiece film and “Concrete Cowboy” starring Idris Elba will be the Friday Spotlight film, while Regina King’s feature directorial debut, “One Night in Miami” has been selected as the Saturday Spotlight film.Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the festival will be a hybrid of in-person and virtual screenings, conversations and events.

Clayton Davis The year just keeps getting stranger and even more unpredictable. This week, we saw the exits of several major awards contenders from this extended eligibility year — most notably “West Side Story” from Steven Spielberg.

Chloe Zhao's Nomadland picked up the top People's Choice honor on Sunday at the pandemic-era Toronto Film Festival, which wrapped on Saturday. The Frances McDormand-starrer was named the top audience prize winner in Toronto, which is often a barometer of future Academy Award nominations.

And there we have it. After going home with the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month, Chloé Zhao‘s “Nomadland” just took the coveted People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival 2020.

Alexandra Del Rosario Associate Editor/Nights & WeekendsThe Hamptons Film Festival’s 2020 lineup will feature some of the year’s most buzzworthy films, from Franics Lee’s Ammonite to Lee Isaac Chung’s Steven Yeun-starrer Minari.Announced Thursday, the Hamptons’ Spotlight Films section includes Florian Zeller’s The Father, Edson’s Oda’s Nine Days, Darius Marder’s Sound of Metal, Tara Miele’s Wander Darkly and Chloe Zhao’s Venice winner Nomadland. The annual festival, which runs October 8-14, will also feature titles in the Views From Long Island, Air, Land & Sea; Documentary Competition and Narrative Competition categories.

Even with the Telluride Film Festival canceled outside of one special LA Screening and both the Venice and Toronto operating a significantly reduced capacity, it’s still shocking how few Oscar contenders are in play as the New York Film Festival comes into view.
