I feel confident that everyone here would hope that there are no more remakes of Hitchcock's films. Nevertheless, here's a look at some current actors and actresses in Hitchcock film roles through the magic of photshop.:

What about Joan Fontaine and Ernest Borgnine? Duvall makes more sense, but I've read several interviews where he really doesn't think much of the Golden Age films and actors; especially actors whom he thought were mostly terrible.

John Malkovich should have been nominated for Being John Malkovich. I really believed he WAS John Malkovich.

Coen brothers to bring Chabon's 'Sitka' to the screen By BEN HARRIS / JTA In some ways, it's a most natural shidduch. There's Michael Chabon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist whose best-selling 2007 book, "The Yiddish Policemen's Union," marked a turning point in the author's growing e...

Well, Ryan may do well with the Great White Way crowd. Found this quote from a Stephen Holt (whoever he is) on Awards Daily: I was at a big A list wing-ding this week and made a point (trying not to be an Oscar pest) to all that would answer me in the crowded party-like atmosphere, “Who do you thin...

Those of us of a certain age will remember the intrepid, but always frustrated Lt. Gerard, who never could quite catch David Janssen in TV's The Fugitive. By Valerie J.

Semple was incorrect in his description of the ending of Into the Wild.

I guess it is no surprise as to the number of nominated films they haven't seen.

Cate Blanchett, who seems responsible for setting or tying a bunch of records this year, contributed to one more that I haven't seen mentioned. Queen Elizabeth I, now ties Henry VIII as the role resulting in the most acting nominations (three) - a record that has stood alone for 38 years.

I won't let this go on, because it is obviously a trick question. However, I did say Who is and not who was: The answer is Michael Cimino for The Deer Hunter, who is now Elizabeth Cimino. http://blogs.citypages.com/amadzine/ Scroll down a bit. By the way, I have no idea if this story is true (or th...

Who is the only woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director?

In the old days, my goal was 80% (only for the top 6 categories). That represented very good accomplishment. Today, with a million pundits and polls, 80% is no more that an acceptable minimum. Well, I got exactly 80% in each of the 6 categories - 4 of 5. I didn't ace any. Supporting Actor was the o...

If Cate Blanchett wins, her two Oscars will be for playing two Oscar winners. I can't wait to see her in "The Tatum O'Neal Story." "I want my 200 dollars."

Some Nomination Day Trivia: Cate Blanchett becomes the first actress to be nominated twice for the same role. She joins actors Bing Crosby, Peter O'Toole, Al Pacino, Paul Newman with this accomplishment. Hal Holbrook edges out Ralph Richardson as the oldest Supporting Actor Nominee. Ruby Dee sets r...

I think this will be a great year for Best Picture competition. Michael Clayton is the strongest, nomination-wise, with 6 nominations in the Big 8 Categories. No Country is the pre-nomination front runner, There Will Be Blood is the critics choice, Juno stays strong and is the popular favorite and ...

Suzanne Pleshette was one of the few celebrities I actually met. Back in 1979, she made a movie in Miami called Hot Stuff. It was a silly, pretty forgettable comedy, but she and her co-stars Dom DeLuise and Jerry Reed, who played undercover cops, spent some time at The Miami Police Department, and ...
