On Monday, Isabelle, the spouse of Bradley Thomas, the producer of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ tragically took her own life at a Los Angeles hotel. At 39 years old, she was pronounced dead at the scene, and records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office indicate that her passing resulted from multiple traumatic injuries consistent with a significant fall. Sources said, she jumped from a balcony of the Hotel Angeleno and did not leave a note behind.
It’s a tragic turn of events for BT, who was in the thick of Oscar season with one of his movies up for awards consideration. His film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone, has been nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The movie is a remake of the 1965 John Huston classic and has a Best Supporting Actress nod for Gladstone.
As the Oscars approach, many experts are placing their predictions for who will win gold statues in various categories. Some are predicting a big win for Dunkirk’s director, Christopher Nolan, in the best director category. Others predict that Killers of the Flower Moon director Martin Scorsese will win in the best film category. Nolan and Scorsese are up against Yorgos Lanthimos, Jonathan Glazer, and Justine Triet for the top prize.
Scorsese, whose career spans decades, just made history by receiving his 10th Best Director nomination for the film. He and Steven Spielberg are the only directors to have received so many nods over their careers. The filmmaker reflected on the milestone during a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The film has been a smash hit for both studios and streaming platforms. It has grossed more than $156 million globally since its release in October, and it is expected to cross $500 million by the end of this weekend. That would put it well above the record for a non-studio film, set by Matthew Vaughn’s globetrotting spy drama ‘Argyle.’
The film has also earned acclaim from critics and audiences. It scored an impressive 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and was nominated for five Golden Globes. It has also been nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. It is up against Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” and Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest.” It is also nominated for best supporting actress for Lily Gladstone, who has won multiple accolades for her performance in the movie.
