Re: Best Actor 1978
I thought Olivier's performance was pure ham, but tasty, enjoyable ham nonetheless... Olivier's last mildly enjoyable role if a somewhat salty and fatty ham. By this time in his career Olivier decided he needed to make money. His financial situation was somewhat precarious and by staying in England...

Re: Best Actress 1972
Watching the YouTube clip of Liza's 1972 win, it's lovely to watch how thrilled Vincente Minnelli is for his daughter. I've always wondered what it must have been like for Vincente's other younger daughter to compete with a supernova step-sister like Liza. Also in the audience that night was Liza th...

Re: Faye Dunaway Fighting Eviction
This is interesting news. Last Summer, I read Dunaway's autobiography Looking for Gatsby and in it she talked about how important home was to her and how buying and decorating her first apartment in New York was a turning point in her life. She must have sold that place and moved to California; othe...

6 Nominees - Coming Soon?
You may have noticed in the recent Emmy nominations listings that the television Academy has six nominees in all the acting categories. They upped the number from five in 2009.
