[rudeboy]

Preserve Ben Johnson

That's all...

[OscarGuy]

I have nothing to change. I'm disappointed that the wonderful art direction and costume design of Bedknobs and Broomsticks was unceremoniously dumped, but you can't always count on people having seen the film or appreciating it.

[Sabin]

Good to have you back, Magilla!

[Big Magilla]

Group 1 - Retain Glenda Jackson in Best Actress.

Group 2 - Retain Summer of '42 in Story and Screenplay.

Group 3 - The French Connection replaces When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth in Visual Effects.

Good to have you half-back! I skipped your turn, so whenever you want to chime in, please do.

Anyone have any idea who wrote Even Horses Have Wings

I think it was Kathy Bates who sang it in the film.

Before anyone asks if I'm back, the answer is "sort of". The tour was great, I walked an average 6-8 hours per day, seeing more than was included on the tour. Tour guide was great, driver was great, met a lot of nice, interesting people, but...

My return from Rome took more than 27 hours door to door thanks to JetBlue canceling my flight from New York to Oakland, re-booking me three hours earlier and giving me a two hour window between flights which completely evaporated. With no more flights to Oakland until 24 hours later, I took an alternative flight from New York to Boston and from Boston to San Francisco. Took BART train from San Francisco to Oakland only to find last bus to Oakland airport where my car was parked was at midnight and it was now six minutes past. Took taxi to off-airport parking and discovered I was parked at a different lot than the one I had my discount for, but they honored it anyway. Lot to catch up on, will post more later.

Manolis, BJ had already replaced Summer of 42 in editing with The Conformist, and it didn't make it to the results page. You can make another pick if you want.

Ok then
