LITTLE WOMEN was entertaining and very good some of the time (my opinion, of course.) The shifting back and forth from the film's present day to it's past was confusing at times (I can imagine it really being confusing to anyone who isn't familiar with the book or even previous adaptations.) I'm not sorry I went to see it, though.🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fifth win would tie him with Mexico's Emmanuel "Chivo" Lubezki, who won four times between 2011 and 2015. Richardson (pictured below with director Quentin Tarantino), has been nominated 11 times. He lost in his 10 previous bids for the award. Richardson was presented the group’s lifetime achievement award last year. Prieto, who received his fourth nomination, also has never won.

"Frozen II" has had the misfortune of competing with the fourth installment of the ultra-popular "Toy Story" series and the offbeat French animated film "I Lost My Body. (pictured below). Of course, we're entering the guild phase of awards season, so it's entirely possible that "Frozen II" will do well in animation and music categories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're right. TOY STORY 4 is much better, too. I think millions of little girls would disagree, though! I wish I LOST MY BODY would make the rounds of the theaters. If it was an animated short, it would be shown in the Shorts Festival the weekend before the Oscars. The animated features, however, seem to get left out unless they are a Hollywood product.

It'll be interesting to see what wins at the Golden Globes tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
