My choices are noted with a ★. Historical Oscar winners are noted with a ✔. A historical winner who won in a different category is noted with a ✱.
The Academy nominated Mary Tyler Moore as the lead in Ordinary People and Timothy Hutton as supporting actor, I think largely based on their stature in the film industry — this was Hutton's first feature whereas Moore had been a star of television for twenty years. But I think it's pretty clear Hutton was the lead, so I've nominated Hutton and Moore for alternate Oscars in the categories where I think they belong.
I've blogged ahead to the middle of June so that there will be no interruption in the weekly voting, but starting tomorrow I won't be here to read or answer comments for quite a while. Feel free to have your say and I'll catch up later this Spring.
Oh, and a happy 25th anniversary today to Turner Classic Movies, the best movie network on the planet! Fingers crossed for another 25!
Best of luck on the surgery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erik!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a humdinger but the surgeon is one of the best. I'm more nervous about grinding through two weeks in a hospital bed! At least I've got the Criterion Channel and Netflix on my wife's iPad ...
Now who can disagree with ol' السيد محمود ?
