Just now, Sepiatone said:
I don't get it. Are you claiming Madonna's frequent "wins" of the "Razzies" is unfair to her, or decidedly deserved?
Sepiatone
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

S. ACTOR: Sam Rockwell in "Three Billboards..."
S. ACTRESS: Allison Janney in "I, Tonya"

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)

COSTUME DESIGN: "The Phantom Thread"

(*)_& 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

Chloé ZhaoI'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

On 3/3/2018 at 1:02 AM, jakeem said:Some things to consider before the 90th Academy Awards ceremony, which begins Sunday, March 4, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. EST on ABC:Frances McDormand can join some distinguished company Sunday by winning the Academy Award for Best Actress. The veteran performer is nominated in the category for her performance in the 2017 comedy/drama "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."
McDormand, who won the 1996 Best Actress Oscar for her role as a pregnant Minnesota police chief in the Coen brothers' film "Fargo," can become the 14th woman to claim a second lead actress award.She would join the great Katharine Hepburn -- who won an unprecedented four awards for the films "Morning Glory" (1932/33), "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (1967), "The Lion in Winter" (1968) and "On Golden Pond" (1981) -- and 12 other stars.They are:- Luise Rainer, "The Great Ziegfeld" (1936) and "The Good Earth" (1937)
- Bette Davis, "Dangerous" (1935) and "Jezebel" (1938)
- Dame Olivia de Havilland, "To Each His Own" (1946) and "The Heiress" (1949)
- Vivien Leigh, "Gone With the Wind" (1939) and "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951)
- Ingrid Bergman, "Gaslight" (1944) and "Anastasia" (1956)
- Elizabeth Taylor, "BUtterfield 8" (1960) and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (1966)
- Glenda Jackson, "Women in Love" (1970) and "A Touch of Class" (1973)
- Jane Fonda, "Klute" (1971) and "Coming Home" (1978)
- Sally Field, "Norma Rae" (1979) and "Places in the Heart" (1984)
- Jodie Foster, "The Accused" (1988) and "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991)
- Hilary Swank, "Boys Don't Cry" (1999) and "Million Dollar Baby" (2004)
- Meryl Streep, "Sophie's Choice" (1982) and "The Iron Lady" (2011)
McDormand could also snap a streak of Oscar telecasts in which the Best Actress award has gone to performers who weren't in the film named Best Picture. The last Best Picture cast member to win the Best Actress Oscar was Swank of "Million Dollar Baby."McDormand's Best Actress nomination is her first since "Fargo." Overall, she has been nominated for Academy Awards five times. Her nominated roles and films are as follows (Oscar win in bold):- Mrs. Pell in "Mississippi Burning" (1988). Best Supporting Actress.
- Marge Gunderson in "Fargo" (1996). Best Actress.
- Elaine Miller in "Almost Famous" (2000). Best Supporting Actress.
- Glory Dodge in "North Country" (2005). Best Supporting Actress.
- Mildred Hayes in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" (2017). Best Actress.
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)?

I mentioned in another thread that I was distressed to see his intros to The Great Lie and Three Faces of Eve hinging almost entirely on a description of plot developments. These are two films that are heavy on plot twists, and I felt he gave away far too much information for the first-time viewers 31 Days draws. He essentially said everything that was going to happen in those two films except for their endings. I hope he refines this approach a bit in the future.
Plus, he is yet another in the "PC CROWD!"

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

A trio of movie-related deaths recently:
Edward M. Abroms (May 6, 1935 - February 13, 2018) - Film and television editor. His career began in TV in the late 1960's on such shows as Tarzan and Ironside. He worked on a number of films, including The Sugarland Express (1974), The Osterman Weekend (1983), Cohen and Tate (1988), and Street Fighter (1994). He received an Oscar nomination for his editing on 1983's Blue Thunder.
Pier Paolo Capponi (June 9, 1938 - February 15, 2018) - Italian actor who was most prolific during the 1960's and 70's. He appeared in King of Hearts (1966), Black Jesus (1968), Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion (1970), The Cat O' Nine Tails (1971), Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (1972), and Farinelli (1994). He mainly concentrated on television work from the late 70's on.
Lassie Lou Ahern (June 25, 1920 - February 15, 2018) - American child actress during the silent era who appeared in some of the Our Gang silent shorts. She gained much notice for her role in Uncle Tom's Cabin (1927), although she abruptly quit films until the early 1940's, when she took a few bit parts and extra work. She had one last, short burst of activity on TV in the early 1970s.
Speaking of upcoming *Academy Awards & saw "Sugarland Express" (3 & 1/2) *Goldie's far & away finest acting hour & was robbed of another nomination!

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!

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)

Hey, Princess, I too am never as enthused nowadays on seeing the awards, since in the olden days you'd see someone like Cary Grant or Chaplin or Groucho getting an honorary Oscar, but now you'd only get to see Jackie Chan! What a comedown...
I came up with a way to avoid Oscar tedium by just taping the whole show, but not watching a moment of it as it rolls on and on ad nauseam. Then when you are sure it has ended, start off at the beginning ceremonies and just keep fast forwarding and only stop when you see someone of interest, and then watch that only.
I watched the whole three or more hours debacles of the last few years, with each spin taking only about eighteen minutes to peruse. That way I really got to see the whole show but in fast motion. I'm sure Warren will be happy to hear you just might tune in since he will be back onstage again for one more try!
Thanks for your thoughts.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?

Three points:
(1) Judgement at Nuremberg is not a well acted film. In particular, Richard Widmark and Maximilian Schell don't talk like counsel before a military tribunal. They talk like they're auditioning before Oscar voters. As such they make big rhetorical flourishes that shouldn't convince a judge. (Widmark brings up the Holocaust which begs the question of how much his ex-judges actually know about and are responsible for. Schell argues that Germans shouldn't be viewed as collective guilty. Which given the narrow range of people he's defending, they clearly aren't be treated that way.) Montgomery Clift and Judy Garland's roles are designed to be extra pathetic.
(2) The Montgomery Clift role that deserved to be nominated for best supporting actor of 1961 is his role in The Misfits.
(3) The real best supporting actor of 1961 was Sacha Pitoeff in the indelibly strange Last Year in Marienbad.
& 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!!!)
Madonna is the champ of The Golden Razzies!!!
