Please, review Dan Duryea in "Scarlet Street"!
Are you happy with the Oscar Winners Louis?
You saw Caesar and Cleopatra Louis -=D haha wow lol, what did you reckon to it.
Marcel Herrand - Children Of Paradise
George Sanders - The Picture Of Dorian Gray
Walter Huston - And Then There Were None
Marcello Pagliero - Rome Open City
James Mason - The Wicked Lady
Off-topic, Louis (shocking, I know), but since you listed your choices for Best Director from 2000-2013, I was wondering if you could do the same for the '90's?
What rating would you give Okochi and Walker?
I'm so glad 12 Years won.
Lastly, Thank god, American Hustle got shut out completely.
Louis: What are your ratings & Thoughts on Rains & Leigh in Caesar & Cleopatra, as well as Pierre Brasseur in Children of Paradise.
Yeah, "American Hustle" failed miserably at the Oscars. I'm glad about the winners in general, though I kinda hoped "Captain Phillips" to get something, at least editing.
Anonymous: Since most of the winners were either my personal preference or one of the better choices possible, yes I am.
RatedRStar: Caesar and Cleopatra is the best version I've seen of the story since it does not take itself too seriously, although I do think it weakens whenever Claude Rains is off screen though.
Matt: Sure.
90: Martin Scorsese - Goodfellas
91: Coen Brothers - Barton Fink
92: Clint Eastwood - Unforgiven
93: Steven Spielberg - Schindler's List
94: Frank Darabont - The Shawshank Redemption
95: David Fincher - Seven
96: Coen Brothers - Fargo
97: Curtis Hanson - L.A. Confidential
98: Peter Weir - The Truman Show
99: Paul Thomas Anderson - Magnolia
Michael:
4 for both.
Luke:
Rains - 4.5(Rains is very good here playing up the comedic side of the role quite efficiently yet still coming across as a far more confidant and commanding Julius Caesar than Rex Harrison in a purely serious depiction of the man)
Leigh - 4(The best non big two Leigh performance that I have seen. Not really a serious Cleopatra so to speak but instead more of a lightly comic work which Leigh handles well giving a far more endearing and enjoyable Queen of Egypt)
Brasseur - 4.5(An interesting counterpoint to Barrault work as they both play charming actors, but Brasseur plays his well how his character is a rougher presence both on and off stage, but also far more easy going as a romantic)
Ahhhhh really wish Barrault had won. At least hod got a really good review. Also, this is one of those years where if I'd gone with my first instinct I'd've won the year, but alas...
As far as last night, my main problem was the two oscars that The Great Gatsby won, its almost like every time Spaz Luhrman makes a movie the academy feels obliged to reward his flashy, excessive production design over sets and costumes that actually look real.
Good old Claude =).
How were everybody's predictions? I was 22/24.
Michael Patison: 17, also what were your thoughts on Hustle's Shutout.
I was 20/24. Messed up Animated Short, Costume, Art Direction, and Documentary.
Same as Robert, except I missed documentary short not documentary feature.
I missed Documentary Feature and Live Action Short
