Blue Is The Warmest Color trailer and poster released
Even though Sundance Selects is a pretty small Oscar player, their campaigning for Cannes Palme d’Or winner Blue Is The Warmest Color by director Abdellatif Kechiche seems to be in full force. After playing at both Telluride and Toronto, and with the New York Film Festival and a handful of others still coming up, the studio has now released both the American trailer and poster. While its Oscar prospects at the moment still seem remote and to concentrate on leading actress Adèle Exarchopoulos and perhaps the screenplay, Sundance Selects hopes that good word of mouth from the festivals will propel the film from a remote hopeful to a surprise nominee in several categories.
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
