FUNNY??? But you guys should see just how disgusting viscous people are to her just as an example on her FB page, it's not only mean, but the dispicable to, sat the filthy & beyond description words these punks call her! & all the while hiding in the darkened bedrooms & hiding What did they ever achieve, as I often ask them when constantly defending my pal

Thanx for fast reply! Nope, sadly those were deserving of this honor roles, but I'll never tell her that

I reckon' to most this is not a record to be especially proud of, but me gurl & friend Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone-(l958-) actually holds the record for a performer & the most victories as Worst Actress in the annual "Golden Razzie Awards" She's been honored by them in it's 38 years 5 different times & years to date Of course reason this came to mind, other then the fact it's her-(to me something incredibally special) & they just announced it's winners yesterday All this & despite winning a Golden Globe for 1996's musical/bio epic "Evita" ($51m.) But she wasn't nommed for the Best Actress *Oscar that year for same Acting is thee sole thing she hasn't truly conquered though. Ironically due to *Frances McDormand almost certainly set to "Walk Down-the-Aisle" for a 2nd time this evening, won for '96's utterly marvelous "Fargo" Just for the stats keepers, Madonna won this award for 1986's awful & boring "Shanghai Surprise" '97's awful, but by no means boring "Who's that Girl?" ($7m.) 1993's bad "Body of Evidence" ($14m.) where all tried to cash in on the recent hit "Basic Instinct" (l992) ($117m.) & for 2000's crappy "The Next Best Thing" ($11m. gross) & for the not as lousy that it's rep has always stated 2002's "Swept Away" where it's director Guy Ritchie also ended up being married to her for about 8yrs too. & "The Queen" didn't personally take home the statuettes won for the 2 flix "Dick Tracy" (l990) ($103m.) (won Best Song "Sooner or Later" & of course "Evita" again which did take home same *Oscar but for the number "You Must Love Me") & I know she's an easy target for many to be mean to & about, but who knew she's made (27 films to date?) (TRIVIA: "Evita" also set a record in movie history for most costumes) & back before these "Razzies" the worst movies voted on were "Harvard Lampoon's" & Natalie Wood was the first actress to personally accept the award, ever the nicest lady in Hollywood, she just laughed & made the point of mentioning she was winning this award, but was simultaneously nominated for here 3rd & final shot at the *Oscar for '63's "Love With the Proper Stranger" THANX

I already posted these awhile ago, but it was probably a wee bit too early & many may forget who & what I forecast/predict for the winners tonight for the 2017 *Oscars & my other reason is I still had hopes other TCM-ITES would join in & have fun predicting the 90th Annual *Academy Awards too This marks my 36th year at handicapping & or oddsmaking *"Uncle Oscar" did rather lousy my debut year trying this universally fun game, 1982 was the year of *"Gandhi" sweeping 8 statuettes & over the likes of "E.T" I made the fatal error in those earliest years of thinking the best motion picture would dominate GO FIGURE? I won a couple local contests in the St. Pete Times & then the biggie back then anyway VARIETY & it's annual *"Oscar-0racle" contest, which I won for 2 consecutive years (2002 & 2003) Unfortunately Variety stopped it's contests though & now, thee biggest is the official *Oscars website-(www.oscars.org) & go check it out anyway, marvelous jazz on there! & this marks the 1st year the editors at EW magazine & I match up on every single category So please just save & compare with this evenings official winners & though I love doing it & studying it's history, I rarely agree with it's choices-(only 3 of my top ten all-time favorite films have won Best Picture) So here it goes again Did get to see 6 out of the 9 BP nominees BEST PICTURE: "Shape of Water" (& has grossed approx. $66m. domestically so far) ACTOR: Gary 0ldman in "Darkest Hour" (& probably the easiest to get a handle on this year A BLOW-OUT!) ACTRESS: Frances McDormand in "Three Billboards..." (& my own personal favorite for 2017) S. ACTOR: Sam Rockwell in "Three Billboards..." S. ACTRESS: Allison Janney in "I, Tonya" BEST DIRECTOR: Guillermo Del Toro for "The Shape of Water" ADAPTED-SCREENPLAY: "Call Me By Your Name"-(almost a lock as well, mainly to award 89yr old director James Ivory of "A Room With a View" "Howard's End" & "The Remains of the Day") O. SCREENPLAY: "Three Billboards 0utside Ebbing Missouri"-(a close call?) ANIMATED-FEATURE: "Coco" FOREIGN FILM: "A Fantastic Woman" (Chili) BEST ORIGINAL SONG: ("Remember Me") from "Coco" BEST ORIGINAL MUSIC SCORE: "The Shape of Water" (Alexander Desplat) (& for this viewer it's highnote) CINEMATOGRAPHY: "Blade Runner 2049" FILM EDITING: "Dunkirk" SOUND MIXING: "Dunkirk" SOUND EDITING: "Dunkirk" COSTUME DESIGN: "The Phantom Thread" PRODUCTION DESIGN-(was always just called Art-Direction/Set-Decoration): "Shape of Water" MAKE UP/HAIR: "Darkest Hour" VISUAL EFFECTS: "War of the Planet of the Apes"-(another tight race, between this & Blade Runner 2049") DOCUMENTARY FEATURE: "Faces Places" DOCUMENTARY SHORT: "Eddie & Edith" ANIMATED SHORT FILM: "Dear Basketball" & LIVER ACTION SHORT FILM: "DeKalb Elementary" WE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A TIE-BREAKER THOUGH??? THANK YOU & HOPE FOR YOU OWN PICKS & COMMENTS

Cool Jakeem, was wondering if you were going to post these or not? I didn't see "The Emoji Movie" myself though However, did unfortunately go to "mother!" ($18m.) (*)_& have never walked out of a movie sinbce 1982, but was very close with this staggeringly awful & unpleasant mess of a picture Only went because "Marvelous Michelle Pfeiffer" was in it though. She herself still survived it & the pretty well-made remake (**1/2) of "Murder on the 0rient express" (surprisingly took in over $100m. domestically too & really thought it would earn noms for it's costumes & production design-(same thing that was for years just Art-Direction) but obviously didn't? & I call out to anyone else that actually paid$$$ to see "mother!" It is a jaw dropping experience sports fans

I've went to 6 of the 9 BP *Oscar contenders & "Get 0ut" ($178m.) is once again "Political Correctness" in Hollywood running wild They just keep lowering the bar, somewhat starting with the 2009 *Oscars & having 8 to 10 nominees for the biggie & the asinine prefferential ballot

I'm 100% [positive that eventual *Streep will shatter all *AMPAS records though when *Kate surprised most pundits by winning her still record 34th leading statuette for "0n Golden pond" ($118m.) she immediately called *Jane Fonda & just yelled "You'll Never Catch me Now" unquote & hung up the phone So she did pay attention after all & would always watch them when *Tracy was up for more of his all (9) leading *Oscars

As usual great stats pal! & she's virtually a lock to take it again, not quite as much as Oldman though, but close & again to her credit she never really campaigns for winning either EVER SEE "BLOOD SIMPLE" (l984)?

Plus, he is yet another in the "PC CROWD!"

I always remember *"ANNIE HALL" when I ever see or hear about that docu "Sorrow and the Pity"

Yep, he's also been a running critic for "EW magazine"

Had forgotten another terrific role that majority of critics truly thought he'd not only snag his first nom but maybe even win Best Supporting Actor for 1998's "Rushmore" ($18m.) (***1/2-out of 4 stars)

Saw this somewhere on the internet & since then asked friends & others if they agreed or not A website, may have been EW, put out the concept of a few greats that have never as yet hosted the *Oscars & Bill Murray was thee 1 that mostly was suggested Many know too he's even been an official contender for the wonderful 2003 comedy-drama "Lost in Translation" ($45m.) Him above all in my own book & Jerry Seinfeld is another, though not in Murray's league. Both extremely a far better choice then Jimmy Kimmel again & on every single poll/survey of *Oscar fans, they vote Billy Crystal as A #1 to ever host the epic program Apparently main reason he doesn't seem to want to host them again is as he says "It's just too grueling & top bring a couple pair of sneakers" Back when all-time champ Bob Hope-(l903-=2003) set the record for by far the most years as a host-(15 to 18) the show wasn't as huge or long THANKS & YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE

Speaking of upcoming *Academy Awards & saw "Sugarland Express" (3 & 1/2) *Goldie's far & away finest acting hour & was robbed of another nomination!

HOLY MOLY! I simply despised "Mother's In Law" when I was a kid though

Weird & I always thought the vastly underrated 1978 comedy & *Bogey homage "The Cheap Detective" (***1/2) deserved more attention, but simply can't remember him in that Neil Simon pic? & on that note, years ago on these forums I did a large pc about "A *BOGEY & FILM NOIR FILM FESTIVAL" & of course that film was included, along with 1982's terrific & also underrated comedy "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" &^ the just ok (**1/2) "Man With Bogart's Face" from 1980.

To me though always felt Stiers was very dull & preferred Larry "Frank Burns" Linville a lot more than him on the all-timer "M*A*S*H" Often forget that *Duvall was the original Frank Burns. *"The woodman" Woody allen liked Stiers though & cast him, in a couple of his flix, most notable the only fair (**1/2) 2001 release "Curse of the Jade Scorpian" ($13m.)

But did something happen to Wayne Newton as well? When *"The Chairman of the Board: Sinatra" went on May 14th, 1998. Many were on TV's Larry King show then he was still always on CNN & Vic Damone said when he started out in the biz, he desperately wanted to be *Frank, then realized that would never happen, so he then proceeded to just be himself Correct me I'm wrong, but wasn't it Damone that got hitched to the tragic Pier Angeli, whom killed herself in ''71 She also reminded me of NATALIE!

That I didn't see,. about *Emma not presenting Best actor though? Heard about them not having llast yrs Best actor victor *Casey Affleck not presenting leading actress, but not this one? Did they say why in this matter? & within a couple of yrs they won't even be mentioning this pc garbage I;m by no means excusing a pig like *Weinstein though, but everyday someone else finds a way to be offended???

I saw that 2 days back & it's just so trypical of todays climate *John Wayne would be so proud of his once beloved counmtry

During the now legendary show when *Brando refused his 2nd Best actor statuette for *"The Godfather" & Sacheen Littlefeather accepted it instead of him, many may not know this fact, *John Wayne was sooo loaded back stage, he hit the roof in anger & it took several men to literally hold *":The Duke" back from rushing the stage & even her! I've heard about this close to violent situation over the past 38yrs, but CNN has a great docu-(surprised they didn't re-air it this year though?) "The Envelope Please" & it went into this in a lot more detail-(HAS ANYONE SEEN THAT CNN SPECIAL?> IT'S A FEW YRS OLD BY NOW)

CaveGirl, you hit it 100%about Chan getting an honorary statue???

I heard of this about a day ago & to me think it's a marvelous idea! These hue & massive=-(last yr was arguably the biggest ever when the wonderful & did swept 6 "La La Land" ($155m.) actually lost to what is still affine film,. but not in same league *"Moonlight" ($27m.) & the previous upset over "The Revenent" ($185m.) also was defeated by *"Spotlight" ($45m,.) Due to the AMPAS' "Preferrential Ballot" which was established for 2009, same yr they started with the 8 to 10 BP contenders

Most historians,etc now cite *Chakiris winning among Oscars biggest rippoffs Personally I still think he was strong as Bernardo,but not to win over the others?

& William ("Capt. Kirk") Shatner appears to be sole actor still with us, going on age 87 My own "Alternate Oscars" for 1961 are> BP: *"West Side Story"-(won an amazing 10!!!)* Actor: Paul Newman in "The Hustler"-(whats most people's view of 1986's "Color of Money?" ($52m.) I only wish, as do others had hoped "The Great 0ne: Gleason" had a cameo) Actress: Natalie Wood as Deanie in "Splendor in the Grass" S. Actor: Maximilian Schell, "Judgment at Nuremberg" S. Actress: Rita Moreno, "West Side Story"*("Guinness World Record Holder" for winning every entertainment award!) & BD: Jerome Robbins & Robert Widse for "West Side Story"-(TRIVIA: *Robbins,along with Russ Tamblyn were the meanest to NATASHA during filming!!!)
