Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Unfortunately, Lindsay Graham is not the worst of the worst.

He huffs and he puffs but he doesn't blow the house down like Tommy Tuberville or stand a chance of becoming Trump's VP candidate like J.D. Vance.

Are his films with Vincent Price - the Edgar Allan Poe lot, and many others - considered to be schlock? Maybe back then but today they are considered to be classics. Also many of the earlier horror schlock have been re-assessed. Take a look at the IMDb. ratings of his films. Those with a rating of ...

While most of the films Corman was associated with were pure schlock, he did have a classy side. His New World Pictures was the U.S. distributor of Amarcord which won the 1974 Oscar for Best Foreign Film, so he had a right to crow about that as well as his association with many of the year's other w...

He hadn't directed a film since 1990, but he continued as a producer up to his death with two films in pre-production.

The real Fanny Brice, played by Streisand in Funny Girl, was featured in The Great Ziegfeld for which Rainer won her first Oscar.

DeNiro and Spacek won in the same year playing people who were still living and attended the Oscars with them. Blanchett and Stapleton played legends in bios of other legends. Cotillard and Zellweger played i...

In addition to the 8 well-known leading players from plays, I count 7 out of the 10 leads in musicals as well as 2 featured players in plays and 6 in musicals as well-known actors. That's a total of 23 out of 32 nominees. In addition to those that are well-known from film and TV, there are some (Kel...

Here's a rundown on how and why the nominees were chosen, originally published in the L.A. Times:

Not yet. There were 16 new shows that opened on Broadway in the last month so it will take a while to get a handle on all of them which represent the bulk of the nominations.

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...
