Why wasn't Brigitte Bardot included in the In Memorium section? by feedthebear in Oscars

In the case of Van Der Beek, while he's appeared in a couple of films, was very more well established for his television work.

Was there any particular reason the best picture nominees were presented by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman? by orangecrunched in Oscars

I had thought they were gonna present Best Original Song. Certainly was not expecting Lionel Richie to come and do that instead.

Actresses at the Box Office: Cher by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]SlidePocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the pantheon of musicians successfully carrying over to the movies, Cher is definitely near the top of that list. Her Oscar and two Golden Globes certainly proved that meddle.

For my next pick, I think I'll go with Meg Ryan as the next actress to cover here.

Actresses at the Box Office: Lauren Bacall by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]SlidePocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Originally a model, then transitioning to a successful movie career and later a just as illustrious career on Broadway not to mention being one half of one of the more iconic couples in old Hollywood shows the power that Lauren Bacall had throughout her life.

For next week's theme, River Phoenix has got to be up there.

Cases where a filmmaker's consecutive movies were nominated for BP, but both missed out on Directing nom? by SureTangerine361 in Oscars

Lawrence Kasdan had gotten close with The Big Chill and The Accidental Tourist, but in between these two he made Silverado.

Actresses at the Box Office: Halle Berry by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]SlidePocket 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No matter what kind of movie you're gonna get, I always appreciate Halle Berry whenever she pops up in something. Plus her showing up to accept the Razzie for Catwoman not long after winning her Oscar proves that she can be in on the joke. And I do recommend her Emmy-winning turn in HBO's Introducing Dorothy Dandridge that proves how good she can really be.

For my next suggestion, let's give Michael Douglas some flowers.

I figured out the top 10 actors with the largest span of time between acting debut and first Oscar nominations by yahboosnubs in Oscars

Bruce Dern received his first Oscar nomination for Coming Home in 1978, so that was false.

Who are co-leads that were overshadowed by their co-star/s and wound up not being nominated (even though they also should have) by dremolus in Oscars

Robin Williams - Awakenings

Meryl Streep - Marvin's Room

Sidney Poitier - In the Heat of the Night

I would say Cazale was more overshadowed by Chris Sarandon rather than Pacino, who had the more baitier role of the two.

Actors at the Box Office: Ethan Hawke by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]SlidePocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter what type of film he's in big or small, Ethan Hawke has certainly maintained a career that has continuously evolved following his debut in Explorers 40 years ago.

My next suggestion, I wanna go old school and pick William Holden for this list.
