Almost fully functioning human who happens to be a Creative Director (Chromavision in lovely NYC in lovely Chelsea/NOMAD) & the least neurotic writer you will ever meet.
It's Sunday, so it's safe, no one is reading. Here to prove my time at American Film Institute and NYU - grad school - Cinema Studies was completely wasted. I could, like everyone else, figure it out who will win Academy Awards tonight, based on politics and the climate of our great nation, but that's no fun, so here are my favorites, and who should win, not necessarily, who will win. Call me up, and I'll tell you who will win.
Favorites - No Order
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Parasite
Ford V Ferrari
Marriage Story - Wins my Pawnbroker Award as year's most depressing movie
Jo Jo Rabbit
Dolemite is my Name
The Report - (Director -Scott Z Burns) - Not enough people mentioned this one
High Flying Bird - (Steven Soderbergh)- Really interesting, almost a documentary
Bombshell
American Factory
Fyre: The Greatest Party that Never Happened - A good look at all of us and particularly one demographic
The Irishman
Joker
1917
Parasite
Best Picture - Jo Jo Rabbit (no director nomination) another impossible execution. Think about reading the pitch and think about being the one who had the guts to produce it. It probably won't win - but it's great.
Actor- Joaquin Phoenix - Joker - And, the impossible role that probably only the person nominated could have pulled off
Actress - Scarlett Johansson - Marriage Story - Scarlett Johansson - in a real hard role to play and make believable
Supporting Actress- Laura Dern - Marriage Story - You'll hate Laura Dern's character too, but understand her, that's why she should win
Supporting Actor - Brad Pitt - Once upon a time in Hollywood
Documentary - American Factory
Special Award and Banishment: After 103 years it's time to retire Little Women as a concept, and that includes 1917, 1918, '1949, the 1978 mini-series and 2018 miniseries. The lifetime achievement award for Little Women and the one that will be allowed to air (only between Thanksgiving and New Year, goes to Katherine Hepburn, and George Cukor (Director) 1933 Now, I'm introducing a bill into Congress to permanently hold the roll on more remakes.
