Back in April 2007, I got a call from Adam Rapoport, then the style editor at GQ. I was apartment hunting in Brooklyn, and the one-bedroom I was touring rattled and shook every time the subway trundled over the Williamsburg Bridge. Adam told me they had an open spot at GQ—an associate-editor role, covering fashion and style—and that I should interview for it. At the time, I was 26 years old and working at an independent music magazine called The Fader.

I specifically remember saying to Adam, “But what the hell do I know about fashion?”

That was on a Friday afternoon. First thing Monday morning, I called him back and asked what I had to do to get the job.

You see, I realized a few things that weekend: (1) When you get called up to the big leagues, you don’t tell the G.M. you actually just want to stay put. (2) New York City apartments were expensive, and a Condé Nast magazine surely paid better than an indie one, right? (3) If you’ve ever seen a photo of Miles Davis, Dwight Yoakam, Debbie Harry, or OutKast, you know that writing about music and writing about style are basically the same thing; I could figure out the rest from there.

“Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer Will Star in the Call Me by Your Name Sequel”

Each year, the Academy of Motion

Pictures Arts and Science nominates between five and 10 movies to complete for the Oscars’ Best Picture trophy – its most prestigious award, and the one given out at the very end of the night. What “best picture” really mean is a little fuzzy, but the most accurate way of characterizing it might be that it indicates how Hollywood wants to remember the past year in film. The Best Picture winner, in other words, is the movie that represents the film industry in America, what it’s capable of, and how it sees itself at a specific point in time.

So when we look at the nominee slate for any given year, we’re essentially looking for a list of possibilities for the way Hollywood will ultimately characterize the previous 12 moths in film. And one thing that’s definitely true about the nine Best Picture nominees from 2017 is that they exhibit a lot of variety.

There are genre films and art films, horror films and history films, romances and tragicomedies. And thinking about what the Academy voters – as well as audiences and critics – found enticing about them helps us better understand both Hollywood and what we were looking for at the movies more broadly this year.

In the runup to the Oscars, Vox’s culture staff decided to take a look at each of the nine Best Picture nominees in turn. What made this film appealing to Academy Voter? What makes it emblematic of the year?

And should it win?

In this installment, we talk about Luca Gaudagnino’s Call Me by Your Name, a rich, sensual, gorgeous gay romance with star making turns for Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer.

Compared to many of the other films in this year’s Best Picture race, its chances of winning are low; we discuss why, and what it means that it was nominated at.

Alissa Wilkinson: On paper, Call Me

by Your Name isn’t perhaps the most obvious Best Picture choice. It’s based on a novel, set in Italy in the 1980’s told in several languages, and helmed by an Italian director, not to mention that it’s a gay romance – the kind of movie that in years past might have been too niche for the Academy.

Yet it went over well with critics and was beloved by audiences (even if it didn’t pull in the same box office numbers as some of its fellow Best Picture nominees).

We’re essentially looking at a list of possibilities from the way Hollywood will ultimately characterize the previous 12 months in film. And one thing that’s definitely true about the nine Best Picture nominees from 2017 is that they exhibit a lot of variety. There are genre films and art films, horror films and history films, romances and tragicomedies. And 2017 is that they exhibit a lot of variety.

Ellie Tone I look back to that summer and can’t

believe that despite every one of my efforts to live with the “fire” and the “swoon,” life still granted wonderful moments. Italy. Summer. The noise of the cicadas is the early afternoon. My room.

His room. Our balcony that shut the whole world out. The soft wind trailing exhalations from our garden up the stairs to my bedroom. The summer I learned to love fishing. Because he did. To love joggings. Because he did. To love octopus, Heraclitus, Tristan.
