Re: New Developments III

Meanwhile Goergia judge just threw out the infamous phone call and five other charges in that case.

Trump is going to get away with everything outside of New York, isn't he?

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia

Not sure it counts, but has any acting winner ever had as many former co-stars as Emma Stone had presenting the night they won? In addition to the obvious Ryan Gosling from Crazy, Stupid, Love and La La Land and Ramy Youssef from Poor Things , there were Michael Keaton from Birdman , Sally Field fro...

Re: Oscar Ceremony

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...

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest

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...

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

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],...

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia

There's a lot of information out there about adjusting for inflation, but has anyone done a study on adjusting for percentage of population? That would be tricky for movies such as Gone With The Wind which have had multiple re-releases over the years. They should just count box office attendance as...

Re: In Memoriam

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...
