One of the best features that The Hollywood Reporters website has is their roundtable discussions with some of the top filmmakers (and potential Oscar nominees) of the year. On the downside, THR's website is slow and a pain to navigate so thankfully Reporting Live from Somewhere has posted three of the videos for The Actresses, The Directors, and The Writers. They haven't posted up the full hour talks yet so I'll keep an eye out for that (or you can keep checking in with Reporting Live from Somewhere) but it's usually an interesting listen. This year doesn't seem to be as strong as last year, sadly, when there were some great discussions, especially involving the curmudgeonly Robert Duvall.

Here are Glenn Close and Viola Davis discussing reviews and the business of acting.

And here's a quick bit from last year with Jesse Eisenberg explaining his admittedly problematic past approach and self-criticism (judge for yourself whether his fellow actors are laughing with him or at him) and Robert Duvall sounding off on Stanley Kubrick.
