jakeem Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Some things to consider before the 93rd annual Academy Awards ceremony, which will air Sunday, April 25, 2021 on ABC: Say what you will about Glenn Close's record of futility at the Academy Awards, the veteran actress continues to impress in one respect. She is now one of the 14 performers who have received at least eight Oscar nominations for acting. They are: Meryl Streep (21 nominations, three wins). Katharine Hepburn (12 nominations, four wins). Jack Nicholson (12 nominations, three wins). Bette Davis (10 nominations, two wins). Sir Laurence Olivier (10 nominations, one win). Spencer Tracy (nine nominations, two wins). Al Pacino (nine nominations, one win). Paul Newman (nine nominations, one win). Denzel Washington (eight nominations, two wins). Marlon Brando (eight nominations, two wins). Jack Lemmon (eight nominations, two wins). Geraldine Page (eight nominatons, one win). Peter O'Toole (eight nominations, no wins). Close (eight nominations, no wins). Close received her latest nomination last week for her supporting performance in "Hillbilly Elegy," directed by Ron Howard and based on the best-selling memoir by J.D. Vance. Interestingly, her co-star in the film is Amy Adams (pictured below with Close), who is winless in six Academy Award nominations. For the record, here are the Close's eight Oscar-nominated roles and movies: Jenny Fields in "The World According to Garp" (1982). Best Supporting Actress. Sarah Cooper in "The Big Chill" (1983). Best Supporting Actress. Iris Gaines in "The Natural" (1984). Best Supporting Actress. Alex Forrest in "Fatal Attraction" (1987). Best Actress. Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil in "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988). Best Actress. Albert Nobbs in "Albert Nobbs" (2011). Best Actress. Joan Castleman in "The Wife" (2018). Best Actress. Bonnie "Mamaw" Vance, in "Hillbilly Elegy" (2020). Best Supporting Actress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeem Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 "Promising Young Woman" and "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" were major film winners at Sunday night's 73rd Writers Guild Awards. Both WGA Award-winning movies are nominated for Academy Awards in their respective categories. The original screenplay for the black comedy "Promising Young Woman" was written by Britain's Emerald Fennell (pictured below left with the movie's star, the Brit actress Carey Mulligan). The adapted screenplay winner, "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" was written by its British star Sasha Baron Cohen (pictured below with his co-star Maria Bakalova) and others. The comedy is a sequel to Cohen's 2006 mockumentary "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan." On the television side, Netflix's "The Crown" (starring Josh O'Connor and Emma Corrin as Prince Charles and Princess Diana, respectively) won the award for Drama Series. Meanwhile, Apple +'s "Ted Lasso" (starring Jason Sudeikis, below left) received awards for Comedy Series and New Series. Gail Lee of CBS News Radio continued her streak in the Radio/Audio category.

jakeem Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Some things to consider before the 93rd annual Academy Awards ceremony, which will air Sunday, April 25, 2021 on ABC: At the 26th Academy Awards held on March 26, 1954, Walt Disney received six nominations for films in the animated, live-action short and documentary categories. He won four Oscars, still the record for the most wins by one person in a single evening. Chloé Zhao, the Chinese-born filmmaker who has dominated the current awards season with her drama film "Nomadland," has a better-than-average chance to tie Disney's record. Zhao has been nominated for four 2020 Academy Awards: Best Picture for "Nomadland" ( shared with Frances McDormand, Peter Spears, Mollye Asher and Dan Janvey).

While his sitcom elder work of the last couple centuries is fine, he really excelled at playing the seemingly square guy with a lot going on underneath in the great, culture shift films of the '60s, '70s and even up to the mid-'90s (like #FlirtingwithDisaster). 9:36 PM · Mar 23, 2021·Twitter Web App 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeem Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 The screen drama "Nomadland," based on a nonfiction book about Americans traveling the West without permanent homes, won the top prize Wednesday night at the 32nd annual Producers Guild of America Awards. The 2020 award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures went to Frances McDormand (also the movie's star), Peter Spears, Mollye Asher, Dan Janvey and Chloé Zhao, who also adapted the book and directed the film). Spears accepted the prize during a virtual ceremony. "In a year where we have all been leading such isolated lives and movies felt so vital, we are proud to have produced a film about community and what connects us," he said. "But this was only possible because of the hearts and hands you see here that came together to make this movie. You honor the entire 'Nomadland' company with this award.” The PGA award is considered a bellwether of a film's chances of winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. In the 32-year history of the awards, winners have gone on to win the top Oscar 21 times. But last year, the PGA chose "1917," while the Best Picture Oscar went to the South Korean film "Parasite." Here is the list of winners: FILM Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures "Nomadland" Producers: Frances McDormand, Peter Spears, Mollye Asher, Dan Janvey, Chloé Zhao Outstanding Producer of Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures "Soul" Producer: Dana Murray Outstanding Producer of Documentary Theatrical Motion Pictures "My Octopus Teacher" TELEVISION The Danny Thomas Award for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television – Comedy "Schitt’s Creek (Season 6) Producers: Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy, Andrew Barnsley, Fred Levy, David West Read, Ben Feigin, Michael Short, Kurt Smeaton, Kosta Orfanidis The Norman Felton Award for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television – Drama "The Crown" (Season 4) Producers: Peter Morgan, Suzanne Mackie, Stephen Daldry, Andy Harries, Benjamin Caron, Matthew Byam Shaw, Robert Fox, Michael Casey, Andy Stebbing, Martin Harrison, Oona O’Beirn The David L.
