James Marsden Would Love to Play Frank Sinatra in a Biopic

Marsden expressed his wish to emulate Sinatra’s iconic role, drawing comparisons with Jamie Foxx who won an Oscar for portraying Ray Charles.

The initial mission among a series of four was undertaken by Intuitive Machines, as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative.

Oscars 2025: Who Will Win, Who Should Win

Movies such as “The Brutalist”, “The Substance”, and “Nickel Boys” are highly appreciated by film enthusiasts. On the other hand, “A Complete Unknown” and “Wicked” are crowd-pleasers that might gain more popularity with a ranked voting system. Both “Conclave”, a BAFTA and SAG award winner, and “Anora”, a multiple festival and critics’ choice winner, have garnered significant recognition. Considering the recent trend towards edgier films like “Parasite” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, I would recommend going with “Anora”. – Scott Feinberg
