Re: [NE] Nomination Elim Game ('79- OKRI)
I don't think you can do that, so I went with the latter.3. Delete Moonraker from BEst visual effects, on principle.
If that isn't allowed, replace Agatha with The Marriage of Maria Braun in best costume design.

Out of curiosity, Hustler, what do you see in that lazy performance over nominating Dennis Hopper or Laurence Fishburne?
One of the most influential and important roles in Apocalypse Now was Marlon Brando as Colonel Walter Kurtz. He put a lot of pressure on the production company during principal photography when he arrived on set for the first time late, drunk, eighty-eight pounds overweight for the role, and never read the script or the source material, Heart of Darkness. Due to this, Francis Ford Coppola worked with Marlon Brando to the extent of him reading out load Heart of Darkness to Marlon on set. With all of the drama on set, his scenes in the finished film are simply chilling and disturbing to watch. He had a natural ability to improvise his lines which is shown during the scene when he describes to Willard the story of him inoculating the children for Polio at a camp and returned to see that all the arms were hacked off in a pile. Marlon Brando was able to pull off his persona in Apocalypse Now because of the overwhelming use of shadows which its original purpose was to cover his large body; it actually accidently made the scene more mysterious and haunting which worked in the film’s favor.

GROUP I
Well, I'm a Manhattan groupie. I've yet to see All That Jazz so I don't really want to oust it just yet. The other four films are certainly well-directed, but I'm going to have Woody Allen replace Robert Benton in the category of Best Director.
GROUP II
And yet, I'm going to have Alien replace All That Jazz in the category of Best Cinematography.
GROUP III
Preserve La Cage in Costume Design.

Re: [NE] Nomination Elim Game ('79- RUDEBOY)
Excellent choice, but unfortunately ineligible. Although it won the Best Foreign Film Oscar for 1979, it didn;t open in the U.S. until April, 1980. We would count it eligible for our 1980 awards.rudeboy wrote: Group 2
