Ty Cobb represented the Trump White House during the height of Mueller’s Russia probe, so he has a unique insight into the former President’s admiration for all things Putin and refusal to condemn Alexey Navalny’s death in prison. According to Cobb, this isn’t the result of a conspiracy but of deep admiration. Putin “has what Trump wants,” Cobb tells David Remnick, “total control and adulation and riding the horse with his shirt off. . . . It’s really a function of his narcissism.” Also this week, the “Killers of the Flower Moon” star Lily Gladstone talks about her Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and being the first Native woman nominated for the award. “When you’re kicking the door in, you should just kind of put your foot in the door and stand there,” she tells Michael Schulman. “Kicking the door and running through it means it’s going to shut behind you.” Plus, our critic Richard Brody gives out his own, highly individual awards to the best films of 2023.
