Adam McKay talks ‘Vice,’ plus more ‘Green Book’ controversy and who’s leading the race for Oscars best director
‘Vice’ director Adam McKay talks to The Awardist about his absurd, ground-breaking film that chronicles the rise to power of vice president Dick Cheney, starring Christian Bale and Amy Adams. McKay shares the biggest influences on the film’s hybrid style, responds to reports that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump walked out of a ‘Vice’ screening, and teases a little from the second season of HBO’s ‘Succession.’ Plus, EW’s Shana Naomi Krochmal, Katie Hasty, and Piya Sinha-Roy break down the big winners from the Critics’ Choice Awards and what seems like never-ending controversy surrounding ‘Green Book.’ We also dig into who’s still standing in the race for best director at the Academy Awards -- is it ‘Roma’ director Alfonso Cuarón’s to lose at this point? Why in a year with so many amazing movies directed by women have they been locked out of the major awards? And which Oscar categories do we think are still legitimately up for grabs?
