Miramax Bumps Oscar Tentpoles to 2005

Ah, tentpoles. :-)

Confirmed via Variety, An Unfinished Life and Proof - two of Miramax's most anticpated awards titans - have been bumped to 2005. The move comes after several months of speculation and more layoffs at the studio. The studio has become second string to Focus Features as the big little studio that takes home the most gold in awards season as Miramax was shut out of Best Picture nomination last year for the first time in almost a decade. Big pushes for this year from Bob and Harvey's studio remain Finding Neverland and a coshare in Warner Bros. The Aviator. The news will most rattle the Best Actress race where it now seems Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow, if up to par of course, will have to wait another year for their accolades. That leaves the studio putting all its eggs in one basket named Uma Thurman for Kill Bill: Vol. 2.

Proof is an adaptation of the play starring Paltrow as the daughter of deceased mathematician (Anthony Hopkins) who begins investigating his life. Jake Gyllenhaal and Hope Davis co-star in the film directed by John Madden (Shakespeare In Love.)

An Unfinished Life stars Lopez as an on-the-run woman who hides out in the northwest with her estranged father (Robert Redford.) Directed by Lasse Hallstrom (The Cider House Rules, What's Eating Gilbert Grape) Life co-stars Morgan Freeman, Camryn Manheim and Josh Lucas.
