Best Picture 1966. Don't really have to think about this one. Gotta give it to The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming. It's really one of the funniest movies of the 1960s.
dws1982, Best Actor 1934.

I think A Clockwork Orange is a wonderful film, but not up to the masterpieces of Kubrick: Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove and Eyes Wide Shut (I haven't seen Lolita or Barry Lyndon). Hopefully, he will get his dues elsewhere. As for Bognonavich, this is his masterpiece out of an underrated career. I would have also nominted him for What's Up Doc? (one of our most underrated comic gems) and Paper Moon, which is phenomenal. His output has never been that great again, but every now and them he gives us a good minor film like The Cat's Meow or Noises Off.
I wonder if your dislike of the Western genre is carrying over here, Wes, because so much of the film is a reflection of that dying art form. Ben Johnson is so heartbreaking and touching in his performance, and coming from an actor who I don't think was ever capable of giving a performance like that. What a perfect cap to his career.

And let me clarify some things. I don't hate Last Picture Show. I like it for the most part. But I don't think it deserved to win Best Picture. I think Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange takes the viewer to a fictional future that has significant modern implications. As wild as it may seem, the conservative right would love nothing more than to implement a type of "re-education" program to make violent offenders incapable of defending themselves. That this film exists cautions against such moral implications. The film is resonant, vibrant and, IMO, Kubrick's absolute pinnacle achievement.

I haven't seen Paper Moon. I said he didn't do anything spectacular IN Last Picture Show.
I'll give you a couple of the performances as outstanding. I loved Eileen Brennan and really thought Cloris Leachman was smashing. I didn't think Ben Johnson was very good and most of the young male cast was unexceptional.
Really, the entire thing just felt like a student film. I'd say this is about the same quality (with better performances) than American Graffiti.

Another one chiming in on the wonderful-ness that is The Last Picture Show. From start to finish, it's a total gem with beautiful Oscar-winning supporting performances (although let's give Burstyn's nod to the non-nominated Eileen Brennan) and memorable cinematography. And I have to disagree with you OscarGuy that Bogdanovich didn't do anything spectacular after this film; Paper Moon is one of the best films of the seventies.

First of all I have to say I haven't seen Being There...
For me, this is between Hoffman and Scheyder. I admired both performances for different reasons, and I'm really torn between them but I guess Hoffman's Kramer is iconic enough to force me to use my first pass... specially since I took his 1988 trophy away from him. But that wasn't as hard as this would be considering Scheyder is not Von Sydow.
I don't see him getting the award otherwise in this game (even in 1967 he had though competition) so I'm going to keep Hoffman's award. Hope nobody really hates me for this...

Ok, so I decided to take away Hattie McDaniel's Oscar--a tough choice for me, since I love her in the film, giving some dignity to a rather demeaning character; but I wanted to honor Maria Ouspenskaya somewhere, since she's always been one of my favorite character actresses from the Golden Age.
So, Harry Goldfarb: Best Actor 1979.

Ok, so I decided to take away Hattie McDaniel's Oscar--a tough choice for me, since I love her in the film, giving some dignity to a rather demeaning character; but I wanted to honor Maria Ouspenskaya somewhere, since she's always been one of my favorite character actresses from the Golden Age.
So, Harry Goldfarb: Best Actor 1979.

Penelope, just for the record I'd still like to be in the game... this kind of stuff has become quite important in my life, filled right now with countless responsabilities and I'd hate to see this game OR the whole board in danger... When I click on your "update" link I don't see any list (except for two of the older ones)... with the recent issues (that I've tried to keep myself out of) surrounding the board I'm starting to develop some kind of paranoia and I don't know if I'm one of the unliked or undesirable person in here!
And Italiano, I guess I'm not the only one who'd like to keep reading your posts... as I always say, try to have fun and that's it... I'm kind of childish but I don't want anyone to go...
And back on topic, I always thought than in 1991 there was a general feeling that Juliette Lewis was the front-runner and I've grown accostumed to the apparent fact that she was the one to beat and the eventual "looser"... when the category was given in this game I thought she would end up picking the award. Tandy is great of course, and she would have been a decent winner as well even with his recent previous award, which I don't think anyone should take away from her... nice choice Italiano

I'll have my choice up later this evening; I also want to reshuffle the order. Italiano, are you sure you no longer want to participate? I'd like for you to continue your input!

I agree. But for some reason the thread where this would have been on-topic was invisible to me, flipp - it happens, here. And some - including "good guy" jack (but then this is FilmFan's definition of course) - didn't feel unconfortable at all posting there. A man, he's not- objectively.flipp525 wrote:Honestly, Italiano, what are you going on about? Let's keep this thread on-topic. It's one of the best ones on here as I think you'll agree.
So, back on topic - which seems to be the most important thing here - I'll give Penelope Best Supporting Actress, 1939 (hopefully not yet done!).
