With less than a day to go before the official Academy nominations debut via Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan (below live for 5:18 AM PST), there are so many online tweets that are all for the “No Gut No Glory” predix; here are just some of those. Good luck all casts & crews!
Time for My Year End Picks…
To get this list started, it’s about what seems great and ethereal, plus deserves bigger than just a watch-once-and-done. Some of these, I have definitely viewed multiple times, and some may very well get that honor. In order for the year 2021: HONORABLE MENTIONS:–Mass–Cyrano–The Eyes of Tammy Faye–The Harder They Fall–Parallel Mothers–Eternals–Licorice Pizza–The Lost Daughter–CODA–King…
Losing a Giant Musical Genius
Yes, we are getting into the thick of Oscar gold right about now with certain festivals ramping up their nomination announcements soon, but just yesterday was the official tragic announcement that Broadway-mastermind and Academy Award-winner Stephen Sondheim passed away at age 91. Creating, composing and lyricizing everything from West Side Story and Company to Into…
What’s in a Name, a Meme and a Movie Place
There’s a whole lot to divulge in, just not the time to type it! I will let your minds wander better than mine own, so enjoy this mixed bag of Dune memes, name connection history and Academy potentials. Happy Halloween!
Visiting Mill Valley, Castro, The Power of the Chalamet, Plus Autumn Oscar Hopefuls
Fall serious film season has been initiated for Academy potentials, and I am elated to be immersed in it!

There’s a lot that’s occurred in the past month, let alone this past year, all about COVID-19, and this past paragraph can’t possibly do it justice. Now with viewable trailer below!
Endings and Beginnings
It’s been awhile… for the war, especially. I was a literal high school student. Not quite sure how exactly I went from there to here, but I’m very glad this is “officially” over. This one simply needs mention, because it’s very possible they’ll both be in the lineup, whether lead or supporting. Get to know…
Furthering the Spectrum of Women, Interracial and Intersex
There is a lot that can be said when it comes to any portion of this multifaceted topic. It’s hard to find the correct person to begin with – I must choose either Barbra Streisand or Lina Wertmüller, and will pick the latter because she was the first in all history to earn a Directorial…
One Year After Bleach Out, Science Returns to America!
What an awesome sense of relief and, well, “fresh air” we seem to be returning to, considering the previous [always] political system we continued to find ourselves within. I am never quite sure if the newer one is real yet, but I like this one much better than the former. It was basically one year…
Chloé Inheriting the Universe, While Best Actress a Toss Up and a Move on Georgia
Sooo! At this point, you [hopefully] didn’t miss any of the news that Chlóe Zhao is on point to become the second female and first Asian woman ever to potentially win the Best Directing Academy Award in its nearly-93-year history. Here is DGA link:https://www.nextbestpicture.com/latest/the-2021-directors-guild-of-america-dga-winners Now, Best Actress is the biggest lottery in years! Seriously. Andra…
