IN L.A. THIS WEEK!
28 Oct
Sorry to have been scarce on this site lately! I’ve been researching/pounding out interview after interview (look for Gore Vidal, Elizabeth Banks, and Sally Hawkins in the near future) and hustling between New York City, Hartford, Boston, and points between in order to cover one story or another.
The good news is that I’ve now seen several of the major awards favorites, and although I cannot yet write about them they have certainly helped to clarify my reading of the race. (For more, scroll below this post for my latest projections, and also stop by my Los Angeles Times blog “The Feinberg Files.”)
The days ahead should help to bring things into even clearer focus: from Tuesday (10/28) through Sunday (11/2), I’ll be in the Los Angeles area for a series of meetings, screenings, interviews, and—most pertinently—inspections of several apartments, one of which will be my home from December through March, at least.
During this trip, I will try to resume posting on this site as frequently as time allows, so be sure to stop by early and often to read what I have to say and to share what you do. As always, I can be reached for industry-related inquiries at scottfeinberg[at]hotmail[dot]com, and for all other inquiries in the Comments section below. Until next time…
May I suggest living in Westwood? It’s centrally located to all the major screening rooms in L.A. — the Interactive Screening Room, Wilshire Screening Room, Clarity Screening Room, Fox Studios, Sony Studios, and increasingly The Landmark.
You’ll be near Westwood Village, where you can walk to anything you need (groceries, banks, food, historic movie screens like the Fox/Village and Majestic Crest). The only downside to Westwood is that there are quite a few homeless people here, but they’ve never been an issue for me. And, depending on specifically where you live, you may be surrounded by UCLA students.
But, you’re only 10 minutes from Santa Monica and the ocean.
John, Thank you for this–I appreciate any and all suggestions, and these sound great!
Happy to help. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at john.eric.young@gmail.com
Great predictions. Just wondering why Hugh Jackman went down so low all of a sudden? Have you had a chance to see Australia?
