This week's Ask Nathaniel sessiondidn't get as many questions as usual-- you were intimidated by the request for donations surely which sucks because life ain't free and we work hard here -- but here are 9 questions anyway because I'm such a giver.Let's start with a trip back to 1995 and move on to smackdowns,actressexual directors,Nicole Kidman inPaddington,and Hollywood's love of pairing older men with younger woman...
Golden Globe Comedy Wins Don't Always Lead to Oscar Noms
COCO: I'm in a very 1995 mood.Were you obsessing and predicting twenty years ago?
NATHANIEL: LOL.Yes,I was.I've been obsessed since I first discovered the Oscars 82/83 (my family was mystified since none of them had interest) and started making list of "dream nominations"亚博主页each year when I was a kid even though I didn't see most of the actual nominees since they were rated "R"(VERBOTEN!) so I was madly scribbling things like "Best Actress: Daryl Hannah forSplash!!!"and such early on.But honestly I can't remember when I started "predicting"in the classic sense but it was definitely before The Film Experience.亚博主页
We'll be discussing 1995 at length in the July Smackdown so I'll save most of my comments for then but my biggest nail-biter and raucous-cheering and breath-holding was for Elisabeth Shue inLeaving Las Vegas(who was my personal choice for the Oscar that year) since there were basically seven women with what seemed like actual traction for five spots.The oddwomen out were,of course,Jennifer Jason Leigh (Georgia) and Golden Globe Actress in a Musical or Comedy winner Nicole Kidman (To Die For).Nothing against Leigh and Kidman but I knew there was only room for 1 of them since Sarandon,Stone,Streep,Thompson were locked up for various reasons some valid some not.That year's Best Actress race was so overstuffed and incredible which is why it comes up so often in Oscar circles as a point of discussion.
On some posters (not this one) the tag line is "Raises screen acting to a new level of sexual knowingness"(!!!)PEDINHRO: What are your favorite movies with a female name in the title?My all time favorite isThe Marriage of Maria Braun!
Well,you took the best one!Wait do you mean Best Title or Best Movie that just happens to have a female name in the title?If you mean best movie obviously I have to have things likeCarrie andAnnie Hall.But if you mean "Best Title"that's more funso let's make it a whole top ten after the jump...
