Here are some photos of Amy Adams and Jenner Renner at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday. They both arrived several days back, and I guess they’ve been doing press and having fun ahead of last night’s premiere of Arrival. I’m including photos from the photocall (Amy in the blue and green Fendi dress) and the premiere (the black gown). You guys know I love Amy and I think she’s crazy-talented and beautiful, right? Right. But her premiere hair is not good. It’s, like, Duggar hair. Why did her hairstylist give her Duggar hair?

There are a lot of films going through the film festival circuit this fall, and many of them hope to have “Oscar buzz.” Maybe I’ve just been doing this job too long (or just long enough), but I’ve started to see through some of the more obvious over-hyped campaigns. Too often, a film will come out of Cannes or Venice and there will be so much Oscar hype, but by the time November rolls around, everyone has forgotten about it. For what it’s worth, I don’t think that’s going to happen with Arrival. There’s a lot of hype around Arrival, the sci-fi We Are Not Alone alien-drama starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. Renner plays second-fiddle to Amy’s lead character, and while I’m still iffy about whether the film will be majorly Oscar-buzzy, I absolutely think Amy’s performance will probably be recognized. The feeling I’m getting is that this film will wage an Oscar campaign not unlike last year’s campaign for The Martian.

Last thing: Margot Kidder played Lois Lane in the Christopher Reeves-starring Superman movies, and Kidder is apparently not a fan of the new Superman-Batman movies. She especially hates what they did with the updated Lois, played by Amy Adams. Kidder said: “They took one of the best American actresses’ around, Amy Adams, and didn’t give her anything to do! I mean, how stupid is that? They made her what used to be the girlfriend, which kind of ended in the 60s with women’s rights.” The headline being generated from this quote is “Margot Kidder says Amy Adams’ Lois Lane is stupid.” That’s not what she’s saying.
