Treat Williams also played Jack Dempsey in a tv movie

James Dean was all set for this bio when he was killed, it's a fairly known true story. He kinda' inherited the role & most likely already know, but look for Steve McQueen in the beginning. It won *Oscars for B & W Cinematography & B& W Art-Direction

He had a very brief movie review show in the 1980's

saw it & mediocre (**) typical tv movie

Same movie for me & '67's "Jungle Book"

But *Lange proved she was a strong actress in it after "King Kong" (l976) & the overall 1946 film is stronger

& Hanks taken for granted again per usual within the last few years

Jakeem, your on the ball once again pal! Strangely they snubbed *Streep though? I still bet overall with the 2017 *Oscar nods though "Dunkirk" & "Shape of Water" lead with the most (P.S. sent you a couple messages)

GREAT TOPIC!

My mom took me to "Mary Poppins" in a reissue around '68 or so

& directed by actor Richard Benjamin too

To Sepiatone, was Maltin also a "GP"-("Guest Programmer") & if so, can you give me details on his 4 flix? In the 1980's he wrote me back & with an ET logo-("Entertainment Tonight") on his top ten favorite movies> *"Casablanca" "The Maltese Falcon" (l94l version) "Kane" "Singin' in the Rain" "The 39 Steps" (l935) ":Dumbo" "His Girl Friday" "A Night at the 0pera" "King Kong" (33) "modern Times" & "Swing Time" were his & as for actors I know *Chaplin was his hero & still has a marvelous site Please let me know & I thank you

Always thought "Being There" was simply brilliant on every level. & 1982's terrific "My Faviorite Year" was a rarity in that Johnny Carson actually liked it so much, he somewhat gave it a plug on "The Tonight Show" Many are already aware it was based on Errol Flynn on TV's "Your Show of Shows"-(I think it was the title?) Another of 0'Toole's record (0 & 8 *Oscar noms.)

& it won 8 *Oscars & made $53 million too

TREMENDOUS!

My personal picks for "Essential Edward G." "Key Largo" "Double Indemnity"=-(though mot among his greatest performances), "The Sea Wolf" "Little Caesar"_(I agree w/Danny Peary of "Alternate Oscars" & he deserved the *Academy Award) He always felt 1940's "Dr. Erlich's Magic Bullet" was his best role & of course 1965's "C. Kid"-(outright deserved s. actor & wasn't even in the race for it) THANK YOU (P.S. In '99 there was a very elderly guard at Warner Bros tour that knew him)

To Lawrence, I remember this on but a number of years ago. Surely a bit dated & over the top though (**1/2-out of four) & not among his finest, opt of 101

Not a great, or good version for that matter Most cite the 1951 British version as finest

Plus the OFCS-=(online film critics society)?

& anything from the Florida Film Critics yet?

What time are the SAG noms announced?

To Jakeem, an even grater job than last year by you Do you agree there are now far too-many of these annual pre8oscar awards though? & it's finally good to see that some place acknowledges Andy Serkis It's obvious "Shape of water" will lead both the Globe & *Oscar noms though, with "Dunkirk' a close runner-up, only with the *AMPAS do to them not really having many technical categories, same with SAFG Awards Willem Dafoe (pictured below with co-star Brooklynn Prince) was selected Best Supporting Actor of 2017 for his performance as Bobby Hicks, the manager of The Magic Castle Motel in "The Florida Project." He received Best Supporting Actor honors last week from The National Board of Review and The New York Film Critics Circle. The LA Film Critics Association's runner-up for Best Supporting Actor was Sam Rockwell of the drama "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." Dafoe previously won the award in this category for his performance in the 2000 film "Shadow of the Vampire," director E. Elias Merhige's fictional account of the making of German film pioneer F. W. Murnau's 1922 classic "Nosferatu." The LAFCA's Best Supporting Actor winner last year was Mahershala Ali of "Moonlight." He went on to win the Academy Award for his performance.

WOW, you are pretty much the only individual to cite Michelle Pfeiffer being in this race I remembere this one & thought it mediocre (**) personally though But her performance is a 180 from her usual & most famous roles

I haven't seen it yet & am wondering what others on here think? Overall it now appears it's a 3 way race to sweep the *Oscars i.e Best Picture "Dunkirk" "The Post" & "Shape of water"

To Jakeem or whomever else, is "Shape of Water" really that good?
