Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Agnes Moorehead's annoyingly phony French accent that comes and goes constituted the year's single worst nomination. I wasn't ging to say anything because I knew if I did someone would preserve it - watch someone resuce it now!

Going My Way is an ok movie, but hardly worthy a Best Picture nomination, better yet a win. Funny how everyone at the time seemed to think it was including the New York Film Critics and the Hollywood Foregin Press Assocaition with only the National Board of Review dropping it second place in favor ...

1994-1995 was pretty bad but it had one bonafide new hit (Sunset Boulevard) and two major revivals (Show Boat, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) whereas all 1984-1985 really had was Big River. I don't know, I guess In the Heights wins by default (I'm still not familiar with Passing ...

Listened to the cast recording of In the Heights. Once you get past the opening number there are are some bright spots - Mandy Gonzalez, Christopher Jackson, Karen Olivo, Olga Merediz and, of course, Priscilla Lopez all have strong voices. Thier various solos and duets are fine, but compsoer-star L...

I think 48 hours is the rule. You can go and Okri can go whenever he logs on next.

It's kinda fun to be first. Not thinking strategy at all here, but just my favorites: Actress: Isuzu Yamada, Tsuruhachi and Tsurujiro Actor: Kazuo Hasegawa, Tsuruhachi and Tsurujiro Score: Tsuruhachi and Tsurujiro OK, but per the imdb. there is no "and" between the characters' names in th...

The euphoria of those initial critics is not universally felt. Manohla Dargis and Lisa Schwarzbaum have both expressed verging-on-negative opinions; they were especially not taken with Jolie's performance (both suggest her star persona gets in the way). Didn't they say the same about A Mighty Heart...

Long overdue, but I'm wondering what else Warner Bros. has planned for that date as they rarely release one old movie at a time.
