As I said in an edited portion below: this happened when Laurence Olivier gave out best picture to Amadeus for 1984; that night, it was clearly a screw-up by an addled old guy (and winner Saul Zaentz tried to cover for it by naming the other films in his acceptance speech). In this case, because Cy...

Hanover Street was written and directed by Razzie Award winner Peter Hyams. Blitz was written and directed by a master filmmaker.

Jefforey, I like your suggestion about the cutoff for contest entries being when the host starts his monologue but that can be just as tricky as getting the time right if you're not watching the posts live. However, even if the cutoff were an hour before the show begins, someone will always wait unt...

Good start. I don't know if Colman Domingo will win, but he seems to be almost certain to be nominated again for Sing Sing , which if it had been released in 2023 might have given him a better shot than Rustin did. We've already had winning female directors, but we've never had a winning Black direc...

Wes Anderson's explanation of his absence: “If I could have been there, I (along with [producer] Steven Rales) would have said ‘Thank You’ to: the family of Roald Dahl; the team at Netflix; Benedict [Cumberbatch] and Ralph [Fiennes] and Ben Kingsley and Dev [Patel] … and more [of the cast and crew],...

Let the discussion begin.

I thought I said it here, but it may have been in another thread or someplace else, but I think they deliberately chose Gambon and Turner to confound people like us. Gambon was a fine character actor, but did he rate being the first person shown after Navalny? No. Tina Turner, who should have been i...

You mean the long list they flashed by that no one with normal or less than normal eyesight could see?

Not sure if he is the biggest name they missed, but where was Treat Williams?

She and her brother Finnias O'Connell at 26 are the youngest two-time winners.

I thought it was an average show but well done for what it was. There were no obnoxious presenters and most of the acceptance speeches were what you'd more or less expect. Cord Jefferson, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and a genuinely surprised Emma Stone came off best. Supposedly Ryan Gosling referred to hi...

Erivo never takes ff her nose ring unless it's for a part and they make her.
