You know awards season is officially underway when these come out

so the final scene in past lives when she walks right to left then go back is actually a metaphor of travelling past time? that's so fascinating.

Celine deserves so much recognition during this award season.

Why does it feel like the production value, editing and overall interview quality of this roundtable seem less than previous years? While Variety absolutely knocked it out of the park with their actor on actors series which seemed to perfectly pair their actors this year.

I've been thinking this for the past year or so. It's the sound for me. I think they individually mic them where maybe they didn't used to, so it ends up sounding weird when they all make noise together like laughing or talking over each other. They also don't seem to adapt well when one person is quiet and another is loud, or the same person's volume changes, so I'm sitting here constantly turning my volume up and down! It's honestly infuriating and is enough to genuinely put me off watching them!!

Love these roundtables. I think it would be great to have a writer-director roundtable. There’s a different perspective from people who go from word one to yelling action on set

Writer Roundtables are the best.

Finally nice to a roundatble with non director writers who are often left behind during a film's promo.

The best writers roundtable in a while

I’m rooting so hard for Tony McNamara to win the Oscar for Poor Things!! He has such a delightfully wicked sense of humour and his script for Poor Things is rich on so many levels. It’s like a love letter to being alive, which I think is safe to say we could all do with having a reminder of nowadays! Plus, it would really make up for that The Favourite snub!

The movie drifts so far away from the novel, though. There are so many elements that have been left out that would not qualify it to receive best adapted screenplay.

I wish the whole interview was like the last 8 minutes. I like it most when we can hear their processes, see their personalities, and watch them engage with each other. It would be nice to have a little less time on the work/film itself b/c I feel like the films, industry reviews, interviews, etc, cover a lot of those questions anyhow.

They've changed the editor many times, but Scott Feinberg has been the most consistent - great interviewer

The last ten-ish minutes when they all start talking to each other is the best part

Thank you Andrew Haigh for putting your life/my life on screen.

honestly hated this roundtable, not because of the writers, but the way it was edited. felt like they left out all of the conversation and just edited it to show each writer’s response. wish we could’ve seen the writers interact with each other more

They have had writers roundtables before. But this is the first one I have seen where they have a couple of non-directing writers. Usually it is just writer/directors.

Celine didn’t pick a script from another movie. Call everyone back. Let’s try this again.

Thank you 🦋.

Favorite part of writing process: finishing.

My favourite question was: Where do you write ? & loved the honest replies. I love Network :). I should say I had a great time watching this video :)

this roundtable was so great, congrants!

I haven't seen Fair Play but it sounds like a very very very nuanced movie

It's a crume thst this video had 78k views only compared to actors. I understand why, but these writers gsve live to a lot of great stlries. Kudos to them, I'll take notes

Please more directors and screenwriters!

After I saw Celine Song’s “Past Lives,” I went Google Map searching for that last-shot street she describes at 40:40. I found it!

Hell yeah Hollywood Reporter, using that Artlist music!

So inspiring.

Geez this is a loaded table. Cord is such a cool name.

I know that writers tend to be more reserved/less assertive when they speak compared to actors and directors, but the sound mix on this is challenging. It was painful listening to the processing on Roth's initial answer.

Chloe Domont is the "odd man out " per se...... Great roundtable though, as always.

14:00

You know they aren't going to be honest about everything political that's actually been going on and the steep decline of Hollywood. It would've been interesting to hear how much the higher ups actually influence the writing and how much they get limited.

Can anyone please tell me what Eric said at 53:13 after "when i start to get writer's block I change..." ?

Cord Jefferson needs to retire the phrase "sort of" -- it's super distracting and weakens his position/rationale behind artistic choices to unfurl the story.
