6/10, All guesses
8/10, not bad.

Douglas Trumbull did the special effects for 2001. It is a crime that Kubrick was named the creator of the effects and won the Oscar, while Trumbull was the genius who did all the work. Nominated 3 more times (Close Encounters, Star Trek and Blade Runner) but never won the award is a severe injustice.

I agree with you but there are many great actors that never won an Oscar and should have. Cary Grant being one of many. Maybe they should have awarded a special one like they did for others. In fact I looked and Trumbull was the recipient of the American Society of Cinematographer's Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding contributions in the field of filmmaking. In 2010, Douglas was inducted by the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. In 2011, he received the SMPTE Presidential Proclamation. So it's like many others and Cary Grant won a lifetime achievement award also. Sometimes the Oscar is just not in the cards.
Trivia above very interesting. Behind the scenes. Who did what or said. Sometimes who else almost got the part rather then who did. Director ideas and habits.
I also made another clerical error. I somehow went right by AWL and did not leave her a invite. Totally by mistake. I will make her my first invite from now on. Then probably miss someone else .
Once they watched The Wild One. One English chap said to the other. I mean, have you ever!? Reply--Never! Censored! 1968 comes another says "what do you say old boy" Uncensored. We'll give those Yanks a break.
I saw this version back when I was renting Netflix DVD's. Pretty good. I have saved it to view at a later date.
You will probably like this weeks MQ. It will be mostly movies for Easter Time. Ben-Hur, Ten Commandants and 3 others. Also of course The Hunt For Red October and an older Andy Hardy movie.
Love Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments! "So it shall be written. So it shall be done."
Great music! But I need to comment on the Silly Love Songs clip. I forgot about festival seating. I remember seeing someone, maybe The Beach Boys, and my friend and I getting caught up with the crowd trying to get close to the stage. I think that’s the only time I tried it. My husband saw Wings at the Kingdom in Seattle.
One thing about Paul Anka is that he is still singing at 82. He started I believe around 1957. He's having a 7 decades tour coming in May. I think 2 are in ON.

They should give an Oscar to the movie that makes the most money.
10/10!! I am an Oscars and movie fan.
6/10, don't even watch The Oscars anymore. But hey, Godzilla finally won one this year! Is Silence of the Lambs a horror film?
Yeah. Psychologocal horror mostly

From "The West Wing"
C. J. Cregg: They sent me two turkeys. The more photo-friendly of the two gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children's zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.
President Josiah Bartlet: If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch.

5/10, figures. I either really like a movie or I don’t, and my tastes vary. Used to enjoy watching the Oscars when the event was classy and about film, anymore it focuses too much on other agendas.

For the past several years, the Oscars show has messed up the In Memoriam. This year was the worst! Perhaps next year, they should have a special half hour In Memoriam show the night before the Oscars. This way they can show the names, photos and film clips of all of those who have passed away.
One year when Whoopi Goldberg was the host of the Oscars show and after the In Memoriam she said, "I know film critic Gene Siskel's picture wasn't up there but Gene, this is for you!" then she gave a thumbs up. Nice!
I didn’t watch this year because they’ve been so disappointing in recent years. I don’t go to the theatre cuz I haven’t seen trailers for movies worth my $40. I feel like most films these days are rehashed stories I’m familiar with that have a few tweaks. If I can give three probable endings or ’next scene(s),’ and one of them is used, then I haven’t witnessed a fresh narrative that presents things I haven’t seen or heard before, and I feel like I wasted my time. I’ll stick to the classics and maybe some remakes like the second “A Star is Born.” Sorry I’m so picky about movies. I want to be thoroughly entertained like I was viewing Rocky and Star Wars for the first time.
Yep, I hear ya. I haven't been to a good movie in a long time. As for the Oscars show from a few years ago, that Will Smith Oscar acceptance speech really didn't have much of an impact because he just punched Chris Rock and swore at him twice earlier in that show. The guy just can't behave himself. Well, like they say every party has a pooper. Ha! I like the Oscar mix-up when Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty presented the Oscar for Best Picture. Made the show more interesting. Some perfectly good Oscar acceptance speeches shot to hell! Ha! At least no one got punched at that show.

The first performer to win for playing someone of the opposite sex was Linda Hunt--Best Supporting Actress, The Year Of Living Dangerously. (Now why in the blank do I remember that, but I can't find my socks half the time?)
2/10, I hate to say it, but I paid no attention to who or what won awards. I either like or dislike a film.
7/10. I almost gave up after I got the first three wrong. 😒
