Back in the 1950's when Sammy Davis, Jr had the god awful automoblie accident, his eye wasn't damaged, it was on the floor & the only guy to help him was Francis Albert Sinatra-)for some reason no Dino?_) He took Sammy to over 3 hospitals & back then he was of course refused due to being black, finally Frank found a place How many hrs was in the middleo

A few yrs ago all three from, Baker Boys had their **** taken in it's 25th Anniversary I believe Jeff, looks the oldest at going on age going ion 71, Beau looks the same at almost 79 & MICHELLE will be will be 62 come April 29th

Top, saw most f them over the years buddy They Came to Cordura (***) is underrated as a Westrern With Coop being his legendary heroic self until the end-(LIKE W.C,. FIELDS NOBODY MENTIONS HIM MUCH THESEDAYS?)E Saw Dosworth bajk in the in '80's- & perfection, except for Chatterstons' over the top work As for Urban Cowboy a fun one (***) (Debra Wingers got best notices, but she's not on the outs due to her behavior with other people filming By the way she's the voice of E.T.) AND IT WOULD TAKE AN HR TO WRITE ABOUT THE BAKER BIYS... Went to that ion 0ct of 1989 & when I came home to San Francisco Earthquaakes WERE HAP[PENNIG. Though it stuck a mammoth niche in the mind ever since, of course especially MCHELLE She'll never to that piano crawl-(filmed at THE ROOSEVELT HOTEL'S CINEGRILL) SUSIE DIAMOND & only raked in $18m. But Jessica Tandy in Miss Daisy walked down the aisle come Oscar dnight, Michelle had won virtually evert pre Oscar film awards up to it I barely almost gave BB 4 stars!)

I know the answer to this but of course wanted tour opinons on the subject ESCUSE ME For A WEE BIT SLOPPY, KEYWOBARD IS NOT UP TO THE Mark thesedays STARTING OFF WITH Sammy DAVIS, jR (L925-90) EVEN Sinatra CALLED HIM "SMOKEY" AT 6PKS PERDAY ROD SERLING used to smoke throughtout dinner with Larry King 5-6 pks JACKIE THE GREAT ONE GLEASON-(l9l6-87) also 6pks of ciggies a day, but when he went under quadruple bypass after Smokey & the Bandit he cut back to just 5 SINATRA kinda limited himself to 2 packs, matter if fact he was buried with a of of Lucky Strikes) DINO-(l9l7-95) I am not certain of, but a lot BETTE DAVIS also not certain, but it aged her fast & NOW TODAY MADONNA sneaks hers about 1/2 to 1 pack per day & lectures all about smoking Matter of fact in a rainy concert she demanded all put out their cigs on she wouldn't go on, saying "If You Love Me Don't Smoke" I know her mannersims very well after over 6yrs & she smokes & also started DRINKING AROUND 01 mostly Guinness irish beer MY OWN FAV LONG BEFORE SHE EVEN TASTED IT imagine the house where Penn easily smoked 3 to pks a day!?

JAKEEM, asked about this before, you do such a marvelous coverage of all of this, but did you post EW's forecast of the nominations ion here somewhere yet I have them if you want them buddy

First of all Marty has not won 1 single BD prize leading up to these upcoming Oscars I admit I thought he'd clean house, but noooo It's not just to Globes that have swayed me, but a lot more this awards season It's staggering to consider the filmmaker behind Everything under the sum may be left out in the cold, Yet all of us Oscar oddsmakers are looking at it, it's gonna be darn difficult for him to defeat 1917 * even Parasite for his 2nd Best Director Golden Boy & this would cite huis 9th BD shot t date, more then Spielberg even I have a personal theory, it's on Netflix first, liike M. story & The Two=Popes, I think it hurts it's Oscar chances for victory or even victories What do you think? By the way the DGA nominees were announced & it's winner scheduled to be announced Jan. 25th

hey pal, excellent going once again, though JoJo Rabbit may not be a big AMOPAS contender, just my gut feeling & over 36-37yrs whenever I altered I messed up If anything it's script & maybe Scarlett Johannson in support may be in the Golden Race. Remember, it's a comedy She may just be nommed twice this year? The Hitler thing may be a bit put off to mainstream voters too? (TRIVIA: Forbes last summer cited her as highest pd$$$ actress's of the year by the way)

not to pick on her, but this goes back almost to 1936, when a co-leading role tends to be in the supporting race(i.e. Brad Pitt this year likely) it almost always has a better shot at taking home the lesser Oscar (Meryl Streep, Kramer... Walter Matthau, Fortune Cookie, Tim Hutton, 0rdinary People, Tilda Swinton, Michael Clayton, Mahershela Ali in Green Book & so on)

thanks

Bette Davis off the top of my heads to name just one

sorry to burst anyone's ASTOR BUBBLE, but could never stand her myself &her most famous role in THE M. FALCON coulda been portrayed by a lotta ladies,etcv

<Made an error golodderby.com had me at 8 for 14 correct Little by little The Irishman's sweeping chances appear to be dwindling come Oscar night Matter of fact Marty hasn't won 1 single BD award to my knowledge to date Part of my own theory is being on Netflix vs the big screen first may have hurt I had a gut feeling over 2 months ago when 1st seeing the footage for 1917 it was something special

Posted the G. Globe awards & surprises earlier last night & 1917 upset Scorsese's massive epic The Irishman for Motion Picture-Drama There are only hundreds of voters in the Globes vs over 9,00 td in the Academy, but who thinks this will follow through? One debit Marty hasn't won 1 BD prize leading up to this or the DGA

THANKS FOR MORE CLIPS PAL

How about your boys legendary ending in THEGREAT ESCAPE?

I never in 38yrs made a science of predicting the Golden Globes though did all right 15 out of 14 film categories The biggest stunner though is Scorsese's mammoth epic The Irishman was shut out! I mean no other fmr pundits forecasted this & 1917 director Sam Mendes defeated Marty for Best Director either JAKEEM, don't mean to steal your thunder, just had to get this out immediately buddy & most fmr oddsmakers all projected Jennifer Lopez to win, but Hollywood Royalty Laura Dern upset her Even score was an upset going to Joker over 1917? & Tarentino won over Marriage story for writing.thing is with Oscar oddsmaking Quentin already has 2 for script JUST REMENBER THOUGH WITHIN THE LAST20yrs OR MORE THE GOLDEN GLOBES HAVE BEEN LESS OF AN OSCAR BEROMETER THEN SAG The 7th for us Oscar pundits is important, there are about 3 major races nommed When I started in the early '80's us Oscar predictors didn't have all the pre-Oscar benefits, let alone the net THANK YOU P.S. please give a prayer again to Aussie &it's fires, my girlfriend lives there

Still in my opinion his finest in over a decade

Nope, it's annual Oscar nominee forecast, they are usually the most accurate

Did you post EW's nominee predictions as well?

I have where it still has the heading ULTRA EARLY OSCAR TRACKING please let me know if you locate them, they are on page 1 Saw Clint's film & thought it his best in over a decade (***1/2-out of 4)

Still a lock to garner a few nominations though

you still got it
