Adding to his awards season accolades, Paul Giamatti was honored with the Cinema Vanguard Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Wednesday, where he sat down for a conversation about his long career and journey to The Holdovers.
In a 75-minute chat moderated by The Hollywood Reporter‘s Scott Feinberg, Giamatti walked the Santa Barbara audience through his pivot from wanting to study primate anthropology to pursuing acting after his father died. He reflected on early roles in Private Parts, Planet of the Apes (“I was really disappointed I couldn’t play a gorilla. I was like, ‘I can’t be a gorilla, why not?’ They’re like, ‘You look more like an orangutan'”) and eventually American Splendor, where he said, “I remember at the time thinking, this is probably the first and last time I’m gonna lead [a movie] like this.”

While we try to figure out why the Emmys exist when incredible actors like "Hannibal's" Mads Mikkelsen and "Orphan Black's" Tatiana Maslany are snubbed, we do want to congratulate this year's few horror nominees, especially "American Horror Story: Coven" with 17 nods.
Below are the horror highlights. For the full rundown of all the talented nominees, visit the official Emmys website, and be sure to watch the live broadcast of the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards on NBC on Monday, August 25th, at 8:00 Pm Et/5:00 Pm Pt.

Adapted and directed by David Radford and Christina Patterson. Costumes by Martha Burd. Cast: Paul Terry, Michael Shewchuk, Matthew Coulson, David Radford, Christina Patterson, Trevor Hinton, and Jared Gowen. To visit a lonely reminder of a bygone age, Craigdarroch Castle, in Victoria, BC is eerily inspiring. Its far-reaching gothic-style towers want to touch the moon, and its inspirational Baronial architecture makes this venue the ideal location for many of Giggling Iguana’s past and present theatrical productions. This year, they are working together with Launch Pad to bring Dracula: The Blood is the Life back to the Victorian Age! This site-specific theatrical show proves that even a complex novel like Bram Stoker’s Dracula can be distilled down to its very essence. To see it performed without missing the most important themes from this Irish novelist’s work in under an hour is very impressive. Director and writers David Radford and Christina Patterson.

Although Halloween is over, the people of Victoria, BC will have another year to get ready for Giggling Iguana Productions’ next exciting piece, Dracula. Founder Ian Case will be partnering with Launch Pad Productions’ David Radford and Christina Patterson to tackle Bram Stoker’s seminal classic.
“They were both involved in my very first Iguana production ‘Charley's Aunt,’ and I've always enjoyed working with them,” says Case.
Giggling Iguana puts on a site-specific horror-themed theatre production every Halloween for everyone to enjoy. The company started in 1998 with Case, University of Victoria English and Theatre grad, at the helm. After some initial hiccups, he found working with friends and colleagues, whose work he admired, to be of a better fare. After some campaigning to the people managing Craigdarroch Castle, he was allowed to produce shows at this venue starting in 2000.
