Tony Gilroy can do it all. Born in Manhattan to an award-winning playwright father and a sculptor-writer mother, for many years he pursued a career as a musician before abandoning tunes when he discovered his knack for screenwriting. Gilroy saw his work on screen for the first time at the age of 36 with 1992’s ice-skating rom-com The Cutting Edge, following it up with a stunning run of success from aching dramas (Dolores Claiborne) to operatic thrillers (The Devil’s Advocate).

It’s a tale as old as time. You make a scary movie that is beloved by audiences, praised for its performances, an actual cultural touchpoint and it doesn’t get nominated for an Oscar. Despite horror getting the cold shoulder from the Academy year after year, it still plays a leading role in many Oscar winners’ journeys to the gold.

"American Psycho" director Mary Harron is baffled by "Wall Street bros" still idolizing Patrick Bateman when the movie is “a gay man’s satire on masculinity.” "That was not our intention. So, did we fail? I’m not sure why [it happened], because Christian Bale’s very clearly https://t.co/E5cGXVA5lI
