Telluride, Toronto and New York embrace them. And no wonder. As Anne Thompson of

Just back from Toronto and Telluride (and on her way to the New
York Film Festival), Thompson fills us in on what new releases movie lovers should
look forward to as we kick off awards season. She explains how making a big
splash at such festivals can turn a middling movie into a hit collecting both
big box office and plenty of kudos. Yes, we’re looking at you, Hustlers.
Meanwhile, with the imminent launch of their own streaming service,
Disney wants to rewrite the rules -- or at least the contracts -- on how the profits
from hit television shows gets shared, or as the company would prefer it, not
shared. If successful, other networks and studios are sure to follow Disney’s
lead.
Of course we also cover the week’s top entertainment headlines
including why YouTube is revamping its music charts, Apple announcing the price
for its streaming service and “Saturday Night Live” stumbling in a casting
move.
