  1. I'll give them a pass on Roy Schieder missing because his passing happened so recently.

     

    Kitty Carlise Hart isn't on that Academy Member list - but she made the tribute reel. There were a few "agents" included - but I think they sometimes qualify as "producers" too.

     

    Omitting Brad Renfro has the appearance of the Academy being judgemental on his post-acting life and death.

     

    And Charles Lane should have been there too. That's REALLY egregious.

    Use the edit button and go in and look at your OP to see if you have lines of text with a "space" at the beginning of the line.- or some other errant character. "Spaces" at the beginning of a line will cause the text that follows to "disappear". So your thoughts may still be around - just not displayed.

     

    Otherwise, your OP looks exactly like it did last night when I first read it I see no evidence of "post-editting".

  3. "One reason I love the SAGS is that it is all about movies..." - bio47

     

    Just curious. Do you watch all these award shows? Are you really that "Star Struck", my friend? I have the feeling you would sit in the rain just to see their limos go by tomorrow. (Which I could do from the end of my street. But I won't.)

     

    Odds are, it is going to be pouring rain tomorrow afternoon. If I was attending the ceremonies, I'd be brushing up on my "Gene Kelly" and plan on working a Singin' In The Rain homage into my arrival - or time on stage, if I was a presenter. I doubt that Jon Stewart could pull it off. But a host with more of a movie background probably could. Or am I being overly optimistic that anyone really cares about Gene Kelly anymore?

  4. "I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Donald Sutherland has never been nominated for an Academy Award."

     

    Very sad, isn't it? I enjoy him in 1900 and especially in Six Degrees Of Separation. (Actually, I enjoy everything about Six Degrees Of Separation.)

     

    He is very good in Ordinary People but he had the easier role, I think. It is Mary Tyler Moore that got all the good stuff to do in that film. Making the "french toast down the disposal" scene honest had to be no easy feat.

     

    And I am still surprised when Ordinary People closes without a "Hallmark Card" ending.

    I enjoy the film very much too - save for the Circus number in Act Two. It is visually much less interesting than the two numbers we've alredy mentioned. And I have watched the movie many times yet I still don't know why Harriet Hocter "deserved" an entire musical "ballet" - especially when, as you mentioned, Fannie Brice's "My Man" was truncated.

  6. While the "Pretty Girl..." number is a wonderful piece of craftmanship, as a viewer I like the Rooftop Nightclub number that opens "Act Two" so much more. The moving platforms, the "balloon pull" that reveals Ray Bolger and the ingratiating song "You" all make for a thrilling and memroable musical moment.

  7. TCM has intoduced its April 15th special Role Model: Gene Wilder.

    http://www.tcm.com/movienews/index/?cid=194549

     

    "This April, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will honor Gene Wilder with an entire night of programming headlined by ROLE MODEL: GENE WILDER, a new special in which the movie funnyman sits down with Alec Baldwin for an intimate conversation about Wilder’s extensive career. The tribute will feature two of Wilder’s most popular collaborations with writer-director Mel Brooks: The Producers (1968), which this year celebrates the 40th anniversary of its wide theatrical release, and Blazing Saddles (1974). ROLE MODEL: GENE WILDER comes to TCM from executive producer Robert Trachtenberg (The Dick Cavett Show with Special Guest Mel Brooks; Cary Grant: A Class Apart) and premieres Tuesday, April 15, at 8 p.m. (ET)."

     

    One can read more at the link above.

     

    The entire line-up for the evening of April 15th (PDT) is -

    5:00 PM Role Model: Gene Wilder (2008)

    6:15 PM Producers, The (1968)

    8:00 PM Blazing Saddles (1974)

    10:00 PM Role Model: Gene Wilder (2008) (reprise)

    and MY personal favorite

    11:15 PM Start The Revolution Without Me (1970)

    Two mismatched sets of identical twins mistakenly exchange identities on the eve of the French Revolution. Cast: Gene Wilder, Donald Sutherland, Hugh Griffith. Dir: Bud Yorkin. C-91 mins,

    1:00 AM Blazing Saddles (1974)

     

    I don't know if it is a coincidence, but spending the evening with the man who prtrayed the funniest accountant in film history certainly sounds like a great way to end Tax Day.

  8. ballerina0 -

     

    I bet you live in Canada, 'ballerina0'. The Canadian schedule does vary from the U.S. schedule because certain films being shown on TCM in the U.S. have been licensed to different channels in Canada. So, in the case of Notorious, because a different channel has the rights to show that film in Canada, TCM has to substitute another film.

     

    Sorry about your disappointment.

     

    And to avoid further disappointment, if you go to the Daily Schedule page - using the link at the top of the page - you will see a tab near the top of listing display for the daily Canadian Schedule.
