I'm always here for the Trivia
Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
I don't believe Scorsese was a producer of Taxi Driver and AMPAS staggeringly overlooked him in 1976.

That’s because she’s been attached to indie films that have heretofore not been Academy-friendly in their queerness and/or oddness, e.g., the films of the Todds, Haynes and Solondz. It’s great to see her nominated.
Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Just realized something: this is Christine Vachon's first Oscar nomination as the producer of Past Lives. Kind of crazy it took this long.

Sounds right, but who would have predicted, back in 1976, that Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster would one day be the oldest acting nominees in their respective categories?
Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
I had to check it, but my intuition was (kind of) right.
For only the third time, none of the nominated actors is under 30.
The previous two times it happened? 1931-32 and 1933-34 (although back then Claudette Colbert was officially 29, not 31). Not once since they had four categories has this happened.

Well, Frances McDormand and Daniel Day-Lewis only have one more lead acting award to go.
Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Sorry, so ashamed of myself. Of course The Great Kate still holds the most prestigious record of them all - will her four acting Oscars (all in lead) will ever be equaled, let alone surpassed?Uri wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 8:45 am After 42 years, Katharine Hepburn is finally off the records books. Not only De Niro's 49 years span between his first and last nominations knocks off Hepburn's 48, him being nominated along Foster, 47 years after they were both up for Taxi Driver, breaks Hepburn's and Henry Fonda's 41 years span.
Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Not true trivia, but two members of Tee's game (near misses and discussed performers) got nominated this year, Blunt (2006) and Wright (2021).
Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
Only 13 movies nominated under acting+picture. One of the lowest ever after the expansion of the best picture category.
