Re: R.I.P. Louis Gossett, Jr.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think he was the first black actor to win an Emmy award - for Roots.
He was memorable in so many films and made a superb Anwar Sadat in Sadat (1983).

Re: 2024 Governors Awards
He does not fit the Academy's usual choice of honoring doddery old actors.
Yes, they gave one to Angela Bassett but then we all know the reason behind that absurd choice.

Re: 2024 Governors Awards
Leslie Caron & Isabelle Adjani would be good choices too.
They should give one posthumous Honorary award each year to deserving actors or technicians who were never rewarded - Swanson, Burton, Irene Dunne....

Depardieu with all the rape charges hanging over him will never get to the podium at the Academy.

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings
Ferrari (Michael Mann, 2023) 8/10 There is clearly a sense of doom and gloom that prevades across this film. Could be why a film by Michael Mann failed to get the attention it deserved. It is a look-in at the life of Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver) - Italian motor racing driver and entrepreneur, the fou...

Re: The 25th Annual Who'll Be Back?
A fantastic read as always, Mister Tee. I don't think Giamatti should be completely dismissed. I agree there has been a huge gap between his two nods and there is so far nothing on the horizon from him that signals another nod. However, this recent lead nod is sure to open him up to getting some int...

Re: Civil War reviews
There's a smell of deja vu about this film. The United States in post-apocalyptic mode with struggling survivors. Been there so many times in other big and small screen films. What's always novel is seeing the United States deeply entrenched in violence on its own shores. A delightful change from re...

Re: Oscar Ceremony
There's a ton of controversy around Jonathan Glazer's comments ranging from disagreement to straight-up mangling his (admittedly somewhat unclear) statement. Controversy for the sake of controversy. Frankly there is no controversy. It was absolutely clear that Glazer was soundly condemning both the...

Yes once the silly monologue begins by the host that could be the perfect time for the deadline. Its usually a while before the first Oscar is handed out.Jefforey Smith wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 10:46 amA reasonable deadline could be when the show begins.

Blitz sounds like Hanover Street from way back in 1979 with Harrison Ford and Lesley Anne Down.Big Magilla wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 8:19 amBest Picture may be something we haven't heard of, but it could also be something we've already heard the title of but haven't given much thought to, like Blitz perhaps?
