- Circuit Breaker Interview: Paul Austerberry, Sidney Wolinsky, and Dan Laustsen Discuss ‘The Shape of Water’Guillermo del Toro‘s film “The Shape of Water” is a favorite among various film festivals, critics groups, and guilds. At the Academy Award nominations last week, the film paced the field with 13 nominations, including Best Picture and Director.The film has been described as a sort of grown-up fairy tale. It is the Cold War-era story of Elisa, a mute woman who works as a cleaning person in a research facility in Baltimore. Elisa’s structured life changes when an Amazonian creature is brought to the lab. Elisa strikes up a friendship of sorts with the creature before it eventually turns into something more.Sally Hawkins stars as Elisa in a performance that many have lauded as her career best. Her work is supported by an outstanding cast that includes Michael Shannon, Octavia Spencer, Richard Jenkins, and Michael Stuhlbarg.I recently had the opportunity to speak with three members of the crew about their experiences working on the film, and about the creative genius that is Guillermo del Toro.Paul D. Austerberry is the Production Designer and newly anointed BAFTA nominee. His previous credits include “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and “Shut In.”Editor Sidney Wolinsky has worked on some 50 films and series over his career. He has worked in television on series from “The Walking Dead” to “The Man in the High Castle.” His film credits also include “Not Fade Away” and “Terms of Endearment.” He won a Primetime Emmy for “Boardwalk Empire.”Director of Photography Dan Laustsen is one of Guillermo del Toro’s biggest fans. It was during the filming of “Crimson Peak” that the director first approached him about “The Shape of Water.” Last year, Laustsen also worked on “John Wick 2.”CLICK THE CATEGORY TO SEE THE OSCAR PREDICTIONS:| MOTION PICTURE | DIRECTOR || LEAD ACTOR | LEAD ACTRESS | SUPPORTING ACTOR | SUPPORTING ACTRESS || ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY | ADAPTED SCREENPLAY | ANIMATED FEATURE || PRODUCTION DESIGN | CINEMATOGRAPHY | COSTUME DESIGN | FILM EDITING | MAKEUP & HAIRSTYLING | SOUND MIXING | SOUND EDITING23 min

- Circuit Breaker Interview: The Craft Team for ‘Darkest Hour’ Discuss Recreating 1940 LondonJoe Wright‘s latest film, “Darkest Hour,” takes the audience to the middle of London in 1940. Facing political opponents at home and the German Army on the shores of France, newly selected Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) is desperate to rally his nation and change the course of the war, and the future.Taking the audience into the world of London in 1940 was a challenge. It is one Joe Wright has undertaken before with 2007 Best Picture nominee, “Atonement.”For this endeavor, Wright called upon some of his frequent collaborators, as well as new faces. Together, they designed a film that is rich in showcasing the impoverished, war-torn city. From the sets to the authentic costumes to the meticulously plotted sound design, “Darkest Hour” is an achievement of craft and technicality.I recently had the opportunity to sit down with several members of the craft team to discuss their work.The interviews took place aboard the historic ship-turned-hotel Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. What follows is a collection of stories and experiences shared by the craft team.Costume Designer Jacqueline Durran won an Academy Award for another Joe Wright collaboration, “Anna Karenina.” She was also nominated for “Pride & Prejudice,” “Atonement,” and “Mr. Turner.” Ms. Durran also did the costume design for this year’s “Beauty and the Beast.”Editor Valerio Bonelli has worked with Joe Wright only once before: on an episode of “Black Mirror.” Bonelli began editing feature films in the mid-2000s and has worked on projects including “Hannibal Rising,” “Philomena,” and “Florence Foster Jenkins.”Production Designer Sarah Greenwood and Set Decorator Katie Spencer have been working together for more than 20 years. The four-time Academy Award nominees have worked with Wright on nearly all of his films. They also worked alongside Durran on this year’s “Beauty and the Beast.”Sound Editor Craig Berkey has worked with Wright several times before. Berkey is a three-time Academy Award nominee, earning a nod for “No Country for Old Men” and two for “True Grit.”Director of Photography Bruno Delbonnel is a newcomer to Joe Wright’s team. He has been nominated for four Academy Awards for Cinematography. His credits include “Amélie,” “A Very Long Engagement,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” and “Inside Llewyn Davis.”CLICK THE CATEGORY TO SEE THE OSCAR PREDICTIONS:| MOTION PICTURE | DIRECTOR || LEAD ACTOR | LEAD ACTRESS | SUPPORTING ACTOR | SUPPORTING ACTRESS || ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY | ADAPTED SCREENPLAY | ANIMATED FEATURE || ...24 min

There, we had the chance to speak to several contenders including Greta Gerwig, the writer, and director of “Lady Bird,” Maggie Betts, writer and director of “Novitiate,” Daniela Vega, star “A Fantastic Woman,” Valerie Faris, co-director of “Battle of the Sexes,” and Scott Cooper, the co-writer and director of “Hostiles.”Recorded during Middleburg, we had time with each of the filmmakers and stars who are in the thick of the Oscar race. They touch on films, movies, politics, and responding to the Harvey Weinstein scandal that dropped shortly before the festival. As voters gear up to take their screeners home, they will be prioritizing what they need to watch. Any of the films by these filmmakers would be time well spent. Let’s hear what they think of films, movies, the Harvey Weinstein controversy, and more.Comment and send in #CinephileShowdowns, #DeleteTheActor,#ChoosetheGold, and #ACCircuitBreaker questions in the comment section below!LIKE Us on Facebook: The Awards Circuit Facebook PageFollow Us on Twitter: @Circuit_Pod & @AwardsCircuitDownload Us on Stitcher Radio!Rate and Download Us on iTunesSUBSCRIBE to the Podcast by the FEEDSHARE #StartTheREALConversation and #StopMuslimBanCLICK THE CATEGORY TO SEE THE OSCAR PREDICTIONS:| MOTION PICTURE | DIRECTOR || LEAD ACTOR | LEAD ACTRESS | SUPPORTING ACTOR |29 min
