Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

I just got back from a dinner where the discussion turned to Network . We were all saying how much we loved the character of Laureen Hobbs, the ferocious little black woman who Faye Dunaway uses as her "in" with the liberation army that she'd like to transform into reality television star...

7th Heaven losing to Wings? Magilla and some others might have interesting and probably very shocking choices from the earlier years but not everyone (and not only for the age factor) have acces to all the years movies... Be careful there, Harry. Big Magilla and other more senior members of the boa...

I have always thought Straight's win was richly deserved. The size of her role never bothered me. She brings such anguish to that one scene where she berates Holden. Not unlike a similar scene between Miranda Richardson and Jeremy Irons in Damage - for which Richardson was nominated. I hate the ide...
