Re: 2024 Governors Awards

While Harrison Ford's place in film history is unquestionable, I'm not sure he is as popular with the Academy's board of governors as he is with the general public. At the risk of sounding like Patrick's fiancé Gloria recalling an amusing event involving a friend to the delight of no one in Auntie M...

Re: R.I.P. Joseph Lieberman

Saw him in the Phoenix Airport in the early 2000s, no doubt coming from or going to a visit with his buddy McCain. He seemed very unassuming.

Re: 2024 Governors Awards

I like the idea of posthumous awards, but I don't see them doing that ever. They do seem, however, to like to have at least one marquee name to give their awards to every year so I would say in that regard that Glenn Close and Harrison Ford have to lead the conversation again this year. In addition ...

I don't think he'll realize the profits quickly enough to satisfy the AG.

Re: New Developments III

I would think that the AG's office would know to do a title search on all the properties it intends to seize. If there are no prior liens, they're home free. If there are, they will calculate what it will take to pay off the liens and set an opening bid that will satisfy the liens and substantially ...

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia

The entire film was not in a foreign language. The main characters spoke Korean at home, English when speaking to anyone outside the family. I don't know the percentage of English to Korean, but the Golden Globes caught hell for refusing to consider the film for Best Picture - Drama, allowing consid...

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings

Ferrari (Michael Mann, 2023) 8/10 There is clearly a sense of doom and gloom that prevades across this film. Could be why a film by Michael Mann failed to get the attention it deserved. It is a look-in at the life of Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver) - Italian motor racing driver and entrepreneur, the fou...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

Megalopolis is in post-production so barring another attack on NYC or something equally horrific which put it on hold after 9/11, it should be ready by the end of the year, but it still doesn't have a release date. A Complete Unknown is more problematic. Mangold does have other projects on his plat...

Re: The 25th Annual Who'll Be Back?

This is a tougher one than usual because so many of the acting nominees seem to have been either here this year for their first and only time or at the end or for their last hurrah. Among best actor nominees, Colman Domingo will likely be back this year. Paul Giamatti, Jeffrey Wright, and winner Cil...

Re: New Developments III

Semantics. I can't read the article which requires a subscription to Fox News which I have no intention of doing, but the six dismissed charges are as good as gone. Refiling the violation of oath charges with reference to the specific oaths that were broken would take time and delay the trial even f...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

I think you're confusing anthology films with hyperlink films. Here's the difference as explained in Wikipedia: An anthology film (also known as an omnibus film, package film, or portmanteau film) is a single film consisting of several shorter films, each complete in itself and distinguished from th...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

California Suite , for which Maggie Smith won her second Oscar, is one I forgot about, but you're right, there's no reason an anthology film can't win a Best Picture Oscar at some point just because it's never happened before. I have no doubt that Lanthimos and Emma Stone will have many more awards...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

Some of these may get pushed to 2025. Kinds of Kindness could be one. Emma Stone under Lanthimos' direction two years in a row might feed into the narrative of they never do the same thing twice in a row. Besides which it's an anthology piece in which the three leads (Stone, Margaret Qualley, Jesse ...
