Tot...Great post, Tom, with some fascinating stuff.<br /><br />Totally agree with your final statement. What we like, and don't like, as individuals is far more important than what the critics/award bodies or general population like. That's what makes films worth watching.Runs Like A Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170144191875296336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219677652731861971.post-80291000385879725732011-01-15T16:02:02.131-06:002011-01-15T16:02:02.131-06:00Luke,

Let's hope they rebound next year. Also, Walter - I officially adore you for mentioning that fantastic scene in that glorious movie.

It's SACRED!" Love that movie, though strangely it was completely ignored at the Globes (!).<br /><br />Nashville! Globes were savvy enough to nominate Henry Gibson for Best Supporting Actor. At times, I really do like them more than the Oscars.Walter L. Hollmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636732594078157905noreply@blogger.com
