Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Great thanks for this. I don't think I ever knew Laurel & Hardy were connected to the movie. The Barker Valiant is the Word for Carrie When My Baby Smiles at Me The Blue Veil They Knew What They Wanted A Medal for Benny I've never be able to track down a copy of The Barker though I believe one ...

Disney's decision with Mulan came as a surprise but then again not. I suppose I'm surprised because it happened sooner than I expected - I thought they may have held off a few more months but then no a surprise because the pandemic is worsening pretty much everywhere and it is not going to be a good...

It seems the Covid strain in the USA is different to the one in Pakistan. Most of the population here is going about without social distancing or masks and the death rate is low. People here should be dropping like flies but they are not. Wondering why places like the USA and Brazil are so badly hi...

Thanks good to hear. A power outage or internet outage are really painful.

Precious, my advise to you is that you get nothing from reading these articles aside from getting even more scared. There will always be cases like this either from Covid or any other disease. I can share my personal story. My daughter, who is now 14 years old, was diagnosed with diabetes type 1 wh...

I've updated my selections.

Waves takes my top cinematography spot (from The Nightingale). 4th & 5th place supporting actresses have also been updated.

Still have more films to see from 2019.

Reza wrote:A great actor who was amazingly never recognized by any of the major awards groups.

He is the sort of actor that SAG should be giving lifetime achievement awards to. I think Charles Durning was one of the best ever choices SAG made for their Lifetime Achievement Award.

Much deservedly respected character actor Wilford Brimley has passed away:

I am copying a story (I can't like to it for reasons to long to explain) on the Sydney Morning Herald site from today that is a must read: 'I am not allowed to drive a car': COVID-19 leaves scar on Sydney doctor's heart By Esther Han A healthy, fit doctor in his 50s has been forced to give up exerci...

Shoot the Moon was riveting with possibly Diane Keaton's best screen performance. R.I.P. I found Shoot the Moon rather ho-hum back in 1982 despite across the board solid performances. I purchased the DVD over 10 years ago and when I finally got around rewatching it discovered the disc was dead (I p...

I rarely watch any of the sitcoms or drama series but like to watch the Limited series/Movies. Of this year's nominees I have only seen Hollywood. Almost all are readily available to watch and will be watching them soon. What are your views on the nominees? Any special recommendations? I've only se...

Reza I think you left out Monica Vitti & Stella Stevens who like Joanne Woodward are suffering from dementia.

Another person (not unwell) is Tina Louise.

Sabin,

Sorry to hear your father has tested positive. Please keep us updated on how he is going.

Wes,

Sorry to hear about your friend. Hopefully he won't have COVID. Shortness of breath can be caused by a number of things including being stressed. Please let us know how he is going.
