While Oscar nominee Jeremy Strong ("The Apprentice") could be back at the Oscars for the second year in a row for his subtle, moving performance as manager Jon Landau in "Bruce Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere," he's neither rooting for himself nor for another character actor he admires, Sean Penn in "One Battle After Another." As a member of this year's Cannes jury, Strong is an unabashed fan of Norway's Cannes prize-winning Oscar entry, "Sentimental Value." "Give Stellan Skarsgård the Oscar, please," he said as we sat down at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles.
Director Mary Bronstein's latest follows Rose Byrne as a mother spinning out of control as she balances her world crumbling around her, work as a psychotherapist, and a daughter hooked up to a feeding tube. Byrne's character, Linda, is forced into a motel in Montauk, where she meets Wolk's character, the sassy concierge of the front desk. The actor has less than 10 minutes of total screen time, but she holds her own opposite Byrne and A$AP Rocky.
Not that we weren't already excited for Alexander Skarsgård's upcoming BDSM-romance film, Pillion, but new images have been released keeping that excitement very much alive. The "kinky" film stars the True Blood actor as the leather-clad biker daddy Ray, who entices the meek traffic warden and barbershop-quartet fan Colin ( Harry Potter 's Harry Melling) into a dom/sub relationship. What follows is a journey of self-discovery involving back-alley hook-ups, boot licking and BDSM.
