Re: It's way too long since we had a quiz
Good to know.
I did know about Shaw and some of the others, but not Goldman.

Re: It's way too long since we had a quiz
I was looking for on-screen connections, not real-life ones between the characters that the mentioned actors were playing. I knew that Piaf and Garland met in real life and could have guessed that Churchill and the Iron Lady had met, but I probably would never have connected Hepburn and Goldman. Tha...

Re: It's way too long since we had a quiz
The real Fanny Brice, played by Streisand in Funny Girl, was featured in The Great Ziegfeld for which Rainer won her first Oscar.

Re: It's way too long since we had a quiz
They all won Oscars for playing real-life people. Rainer and Streisand were Ziegfeld girls. DeNiro and Spacek won in the same year playing people who were still living and attended the Oscars with them. Blanchett and Stapleton played legends in bios of other legends. Cotillard and Zellweger played i...

Re: The 2024 Tony Awards
In addition to the 8 well-known leading players from plays, I count 7 out of the 10 leads in musicals as well as 2 featured players in plays and 6 in musicals as well-known actors. That's a total of 23 out of 32 nominees. In addition to those that are well-known from film and TV, there are some (Kel...

Re: The 2024 Tony Awards
Not yet. There were 16 new shows that opened on Broadway in the last month so it will take a while to get a handle on all of them which represent the bulk of the nominations.

Re: Challengers reviews
Saw it due to its hype as the best reviewed film of the year so far, but it's not an Oscar movie. It basically has no plot but is an excellent character study and a showcase for both O'Connor and Faist, especially Faist who unlike O'Connor, has had mostly under-the-radar roles except for his Riff in...

Re: Best Supporting Actor 2001
In the years since we voted on this, Steve Buscemi remains my choice for the win, but Jude Law has replaced Brian Cox as my runner-up. Cox's film, L.I.E. is virtually unwatchable but A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is probably the film from this year that I've rewatched the most. Law's performance in ...
