I quit a job because of an asshole boss when I was 19 - one of the smartest things I ever did, but after that I never let bad bosses get to me. As a "boss" myself for most of my life, I always treated people the way I wanted to be treated and it paid off. At one point I had 150 employees,...

You don't even want to preserve Monty Woolley, the last remaining acting nominee from your favortie best picture pick?

I expected to find a revised trailer and found the whole 14 1/2 minute film. You are quite the Renaissance man, aren't you? Writer, producer, director, composer and star! It's a clever little noir that I went back and watched a second time to get what I'd missed the first time around. Great analogy...

Another shocker. I saw him recently in a TV interview. He looked reasonably healthy for someone with his medical history.

Too late for best picture - we already have 12 nominees.

12 players - 12 nominations per category. Leaving open 1 nomination each in direction, supporting actress, original screenplay, cinematography, art direction and costume design for Hustler to replace his ineligible nominees from 1982's Fanny & Alexander and The Year of Living Dangerously, I'll ...

Hopefully Hustler will be back before the game ends to update his picks for director, supporting actress, original screenplay, cinematography, art direction and costume design.

In the meantime, Sabin is up and then we go to the second round.

Same as with the other game, if Barry Brooks is around he can go at any time. Otherwise, it's Hustler's turn.

I see that Barry posted in Penelope's game so if he's around he can go at any time. If not, then DWS can go.

My understanding is that the select group of old fogies select six films, then the overseeing committee adds three more and the full body of eligible voters then choses the final five.

Best Original Score Yentl Special Citation: Yentl for its original song score. Isn't this the same thing? Shouldn't the assumption be that the Original Score recognition for a musical is for it songs as well as its background music of a musical? That was certainly what we were thnking when we voted...

Barry Brooks is unavailable until Monday. Rudeboy is next.

The tallies are up for 1938. Not surprisingly The Adventures of Robin Hood leads with 13 mentions, but close on its heels tied for second place are Angels with Dirty Faces and Oscar winner You Can't Take It With You with 11 mentions each, followed by The Lady Vanishes with 10, Jezebel with 8, Pygma...
