Aside from the fact that I loved it, has anyone noticed Brenda Vaccaro as Pacino’s wife? She’s credited and I don’t remember her at all in the film.

Picture: Roma Director: Alfonso Cuarón, Roma Actor: Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born Actress: Glenn Close, The Wife Supporting Actor: Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me?

Easy, with such a mediocre slate:

1. The Favourite
2. Vice

3. BlackKklansman
4. Roma
5. Bohemian Rhapsody
6. Green Book
7. A Star Is Born
8. Black Panther

This is a very interesting take on Roma by philosopher Slavoj Žižek.

Volver a empezar / Begin the Beguine / To Begin Again (José Luis Garci, 1982) 5/10 Warm bittersweet memory piece is a bore and still managed to win the Oscar for best foreign film (Spain's first).

She was classy, elegant and subtle. Her performances in Chabrol’s The Butcher and Babette’s Feast are two for the ages.

Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty are presumably presenting Best Picture again. I have a feeling they will somehow comedically "atone" for last year before they present. Indeed. This will be extremely exciting. Remember when in past recent ceremonies the Best Picture envelope was about to be...

It would be so nice if Jack Nicholson appeared again. His last showing up was when he and Michelle Obama gave Best Picture to Argo back in 2013. I love him presenting at the Oscars.

Beautiful year for films. This is my favorite Best Picture lineup since 1975. Deeply loved my top choice. Second is a great film. Three to six are truly exhilarating, unforgettable cinematic experiences in their own distinctive ways. Seven and eight are perfectly solid craft, and the last one is not...
