TRAILER: Big Eyes finally shows up to the 2015 Oscar race
After nearly a year of very little to offer in the way of what this movie was going to look or feel like, The Weinstein Company has finally dropped the trailer for Tim Burton’s latest, Big Eyes. It’s the story of Margaret Keane, the artist of the famous ‘Big Eyes’ paintings in the 1950s that were attributed to her husband for decades.
The film, starring five-time Academy-Award nominee Amy Adams and two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz opens Christmas Day.
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.
