Deadline is sending some of our best to cover the Cannes Film Festival that opens later this week, and two of them have filed previews about what to expect this year.  Awards Columnist Pete Hammond notes that the past two Cannes fests have spotlights films that later had a big impact on Oscar, and this year - already one of the “most anticipated in years” - should do the same, with lots of high-profile films that will travel well in the United States:  http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/cannes-festival-set-to-kick-off-with-what-could-be-one-of-its-most-exciting-slates-in-years/ Deadline Film Editor Mike Fleming, meanwhile, says sellers are telling there’s a “good appetite for dealmaking in the air” already, with U.S. rights getting sold on Ryan Gosling’s “How To Catch a Monster.” Lots of other high-profile films from name directors around the world should also attract a lot of deal-making, Mike says here:  http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/fleming-on-cannes-can-sizzle-reels-make-sizzling-deals-this-year/ So what films are you looking forward to seeing, either there, or when they come out later?

Trying to figure out a movie to watch this weekend that isn’t “Iron Man 3” (hey, it can happen)?

Episode 24 of my audio podcast Deadline Awards Watch With Pete Hammondis here: http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/deadline-awards-watch-with-pete-hammond-episode-24/ We talk about the Motion Picture Academy’s move to diversify its membership (dominated by white men according to stats) and what it might mean for future Oscar nominees and winners; this weekend’s big Academy all-members meeting; and TCM’s new film about influential Oscar-winning producer Richard Zanuck, the man behind films from “The Sound Of Music” and “Hello Dolly” to ”Driving Miss Daisy” and “Cocoon.” We also dig into this weekend’s film debuts, led by the summer season’s first box-office juggernaut “Iron Man 3.”  Indie alternatives debuting this weekend include “The Ice Man” starring Michael Shannon and Ray Liotta, and the considerably gentler ”Love Is All You Need,” starring Pierce Brosnan and directed by Susanne Bier, who last directed the Oscar-winning foreign-language film “In A Better World.”

Deadline’s latest podcast featuring Awards Columnist Pete Hammond (and me) is here. We talk about the shifting schedule for Oscar ceremonies in 2014 and 2015; the refusal of defenders of the Foreign Language category to change the way that winner is determined; and Pete’s picks among a so-so crop of weekend films. He’s a fan of “The Place Beyond the Pines.” As for the rest of the weekend’s debuts (“G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” “The Host,” “Tyler Perry’s Temptation”), eh, not so much. Listen to it all here: http://www.deadline.com/2013/03/deadline-awards-watch-with-pete-hammond-episode-19/

Deadline was tickled to hear the news today that one of own, Awards Columnist Pete Hammond (that’s him in the picture), won the annual award from the Hollywood publicists guild for his work covering Hollywood.  Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr. was also nominated for the award, which put us in an impossible rooting position, but at least one of ours won. For Pete, he became only the second journalist to win the award twice.  We have more about the other award winners at the ICG Publicists Guild luncheon here at the start of a weekend full of awards: http://www.deadline.com/2013/02/deadlines-pete-hammond-wins-publicists-award/ Stay tuned to Deadline for all the news on the Independent Spirit Awards tomorrow and, of course, the Oscars on Sunday.  Meanwhile, visit Deadline to watch the series of videos featuring Pete talking about his picks for likely winners of just about all the Oscar categories (the last three will post tomorrow and Sunday morning). We also have an audio podcast I recorded with Pete yesterday, talking about the ceremony itself, and why he made a couple of late changes in his choices for likely winners on Sunday. See all of Pete’s writing and podcasts here:  http://www.deadline.com/author/phammond/
