Re: Documentary Finalists
Perhaps I've missed something, but how can Going Clear be eligible given that it was broadcast on HBO. I can only assume that it had a theatrical release prior? Also, if it wins, would that make it the first film/doc to win the Oscar and the Emmy for best of it's category? CitizenFour just did it S...

Re: NBR Winners
It'll be an interesting year if it winds up being Mad Max and The Martian going toe-to-toe for the big win. Maybe I'll need to watch Mad Max again, but it was largely forgettable the first time around. As for The Martian, I reckon it'll likely be the big winner. Though I may return to this post an e...

Re: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt- What do you think of it?
It's incredibly camp, but I enjoyed it quite a lot. It's no where near as cleaver as 30 Rock (I even noticed a few of the same jokes being used), though I'm sure I'll watch series two when it's available. I remember reading that it started life as a network show (NBC I'm guessing), and I'm sure it w...

There's a weak link in each year. I've no idea which year to vote for.

Re: Best Screenplay 1981
I flirted back and forth between Atlantic City and On Golden Pond. I chose the latter . I'm well aware that both are somewhat slight, though they're guilty pleasures for me.
In regard to Raiders. No. The Big Bang Theory proved why.

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings
Exodus: Gods and Kings (Ridley Scott, 2014) 6/10 Moses gets a retread once more when there really wasn't any need for it. The CGI effects carry the film via spectacular battle sequences, the splendor of the Egyptian buildings, a Jaws redux via giant alligators attacking a boat full of men and the R...

Re: Best Oscar Hosting of the Decade
I thought for years that Robin Williams would have made for a fantastic host. Colbert would be good, though as a Bill Maher fan, I would love to see him host, though I doubt that will ever happen. Eddie Murphy would make for a great host, I think, or copy the Globes and have Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
