Just a small thing, but it's worth passing along: Hollywood Reporter says Anomalisa is "arguably the highest-profile title among this year’s Venice winners and the one with the most obvious crossover appeal."
Hanway’s Anomalisa, which won the Grand Jury Prize, looks to be the prime candidate for an awards bump. The animated feature from Charlie Kaufman, co-directed by Duke Johnson, is arguably the highest-profile title among this year’s Venice winners and the one with the most obvious crossover appeal. It helps that the film was one of the few Venice titles to receive near-universal critical praise. (Source)
