Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:53:25 GMT

Colorado is fired up for an Oscar win.Last year’s biggest statewide entry in the Academy Awards was “Don’t Look Up,” the ecological fable/comedy directed by former Denverite Adam McKay (“Anchorman,” “The Big Short”) and co-written by Denver’s David Sirota. It lost in all four categories for which it was nominated — including Best Motion Picture of the Year — but there’s hope again in 2023.“Hollywood has a way of making the ceremony feel really humbling,” said Denver producer Shane Boris, who will attend the Oscars this weekend thanks to nominations for two separate titles. “We never make these even thinking an Oscar is possible.”“These” are the documentaries “Fire of Love” and “Navalny,” two very different projects that share Boris as a producer.
