What effect will Clint Eastwood's RichardJewell have on the Oscars race? The latest from ScottFeinberg:
recounts another gutwrenching true story: that of an overweight and unextraordinary security guard who was on site at Centennial Park during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta when a pipe bomb went off, causing devastation on the ground. Jewell, who had first noticed the abandoned backpack containing the bomb and called in the threat, was hailed as a hero. And then a news report said he was the FBI's primary, turning his life into a media maelstrom.
Just as likely to contend, if not more, are two of the film's supporting players, both of whom already have Oscars on their mantelpieces: Rockwell, who plays Jewell's lawyer in the most colorful of ways; and Bates who plays Jewell's mother, with whom Jewell lives, and whose life is equally upended when he falls under the veil of suspicion.
Others seem to suspect that Eastwood, a well-known conservative, only made the film because it offered him an opportunity to show the media and the FBI — two of's favorite punching bags — in a bad light. But this seems like a more frivolous objection: in this particular incident, the media and the FBI both indeed failed terribly. That certainly does not mean they always do, but it is a legitimate story to tell.
There is going to be a sizable segment of the Academy — and not just the old fuddy-duddies — who will respond to this movie very much, and who, as with, are not going to appreciate being told they are wrong for doing so. And we all remember how that turned out.
