Re: Challengers reviews
Saw it due to its hype as the best reviewed film of the year so far, but it's not an Oscar movie. It basically has no plot but is an excellent character study and a showcase for both O'Connor and Faist, especially Faist who unlike O'Connor, has had mostly under-the-radar roles except for his Riff in...

Re: Best Supporting Actor 2001
In the years since we voted on this, Steve Buscemi remains my choice for the win, but Jude Law has replaced Brian Cox as my runner-up. Cox's film, L.I.E. is virtually unwatchable but A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is probably the film from this year that I've rewatched the most. Law's performance in ...

Yes, he was replaced by Giancarlo Esposito who the Variety article has been corrected to include in place of Whitaker.danfrank wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 7:36 pmIMDB and every article I’ve read lists him in the cast.

Re: Ripley
Blanchett's character was not in Highsmith's original. It was created for the 1999 film.
Started to watch episode 1 last night, fell asleep before it ended. Will pick it up at some point.

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1958
Chevalier was campaigned in lead. Gingold's omission was a headscratcher. She and Peggy Cass, who was nominated for Auntie Mame campaigned incessantly on late night TV. One campaign worked, one didn't.

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1961
Montgomery Clift was the sentimental favorite, not just for the performance alone for which he either waived his fee or took scale (forget which), but for having lost three times previously for The Search , A Place in the Sun , and From Here to Eternity . He and Judy Garland were the expected winners.

Re: Megalopolis reviews
Greg, have you read the responses to the article, one of them posted by Coppola himself 14 hours ago, respectfully correcting the author on several points? His response is included in the link you provided although it came four hours after you provided it so unless you've checked it again you wouldn...

Re: 2024 Governors Awards
Genuine question: when you compare the length of time a host like Bob Hope takes vs Jimmy Kimmel, is it genuinely that much different? Probably not, but the whole production number that goes along with the host's opening monologue before the first award is handed out takes more time than it did in ...

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1958
I’m not sure whether Donat's performance opposite Ingrid Bergman in The Inn of the Sixth Happiness was considered a lead but posthumous nominations in the supporting categories didn't happen until Ralph Richardson in 1984 and haven't happened since. Heath Ledger received a posthumous Best Supportin...
