Bronson Pinchot, whose career has been reduced to unknown straight-to-DVD releases, recently gave an interview in which let loose his unflattering opinions of former co-stars Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington and Bette Midler, while saving his compliments for Tom Hanks. Link at the bottom; here are the...

The last time I watched From Here to Eternity, I was shocked by how limited Kerr's screen-time is: I don't think it's more than 20 minutes in a film that runs 2 hours; she certainly has less screen time than Supporting Actor winner Frank Sinatra. I suppose it's the fact that a) she was a big star a...

Ok, this time it's the reverse scenario: clearly Supporting roles that were pushed up to Lead for whatever reason. This one was a bit harder for me to formulate, as there are so many borderline cases and thus many I left off the list (I debated long and hard about whether to include Frances McDorma...

You know Hutton as the star he soon became, not as the relative unknown actor he was then. Your arguments have given me a good understanding of the different views of the time, though I would like to add that no one here seems to be advocating for Hutton's lead placement based on the fact that he e...

You've really got this movie on the brain. It's the second time you've posted a thread for it. (At least, I think it is. Any other Brazillian films about brothers fucking recently?) Actually, I'd forgotten about it, although in the back of my mind I thought I'd posted about it a few months ago. Any...

A Brazilian film called Do Começo Ao Fim has already generated controversy due to the subject matter: it's about a pair of brothers who also happen to be lovers. As if that wouldn't already generate publicity for the film, the filmmakers are letting the public choose the film's poster--instructions...

I still maintain that there was nothing egregious about Hutton's nomination and win in support. Mary Tyler Moore and Donald Sutherland were stars playing very difficult roles as the conflicted parents of one dead child and one almost dead one. Tim Hutton was the fourth billed up-and-coming 19 year-...

Since this is a constant refrain on the board, I thought we should take a vote on it: what was the most egregious example of category gerrymandering, pushing a clearly leading role/performance into the supporting category? This has been increasing particularly in the past decade, so I've selected 1...
