Never even heard of it, I am that unplugged from pop culture, but thanks for the heads-up. Good point on the Academy Awards thing. I have just so been wishing someone would say, "Maybe it was all white this year because no black performance deserved a nomination?" Of course that will never happen, would need a person not caring about losing celebrity status to say it. The President is a fink. |

Well the real point is often repeated, how do you compare two movies with such vastly different objectives as Moonlight and La La Land? The obvious answer is you use politics to choose between them. And of course, the outcry about the "white" Oscars followed by 3 out of 6 of the Major awards going to African American actors or movies just hurts everyone. It detracts from the awards themselves. |

Michael Shannon I got a chance to see Nocturnal Animals. Amy Adams plays a potentially sweet and caring woman who throws love away for material wealth and a shallow marriage. Jake Gyllenhaal is the ex-husband who turns the pain into a searing novel. The director, "Tom" Ford launched his eponymous luxury brand in 2006, having previously served as the creative director at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. The movie has flaws, but it can be deeply moving at times. Michael Shannon has a small part that he does play with an understated fury. |

Gary Oldman has never won an Oscar. He is well overdue. Meryl Streep is getting good buzz for Best Actress for her role in Speilberg's 'The Post.' Laurie Metcalf is in the conversation for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Lady Bird (which is apparently the best reviewed movie ever on Rotten Tomatoes). I'm seeing Lady Bird this evening. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
