What ultimately decided me on year of initial release was Ozu's <i>Tokyo Story</i> -- it came out in Japan in 1953 and in America in 1972 which just seemed too far removed from the context that inspired it.<br /><br />Not to mention <i>The Godfather</i> owns 1972 ...Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-30557338933693229032010-05-30T20:55:52.626-04:002010-05-30T20:55:52.626-04:00I remember when the Golden Satellite Awards first ...I remember when the Golden Satellite Awards first began and they split not only Picture, Actor and Actress, but also the Supporting awards. On my own years, I do both. I do a top 5 for all the Oscar categories. Then I also do a Drama / Comedy split for Picture, Director, all 4 acting and both Screenplay awards. After all, for years the WGA split between genres. In fact, until the late 60's, they only distinguished between genres and not between Adapted or Original.<br /><br />Because I stick to Oscar eligibility, my Best Director - Drama is Fritz Lang for M, which finally got a US release in 33. My Best Director - Comedy is Capra for Lady for a Day.Erik Beckhttp://nighthawknews.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-31881143982561711782010-05-30T16:56:00.362-04:002010-05-30T16:56:00.362-04:00As I said in my previous comment, the incorporatio...As I said in my previous comment, the incorporation of LeRoy is well-deservedFATHER_CAPRIOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388522679346433899noreply@blogger.com
