Between Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can 2002 was a great year for Spielberg

You forgot adapted and original screenplay.  

[Kvikk Lunsj]

You forgot adapted and original screenplay.

 

Fuck, I need to add that. Who does the academy like that is a screen writer?

Do not forget an honorary oscar.

Woody Allen. They're obsessed with him. 15 noms or something like that.

They are going to give Steven Director and Affleck Picture and split the difference.  Look, I'm happy Ben made his 3rd good movie in a row but he isn't entitled to a Best Director Oscar.  Steven and Scorcsese and plenty other great directors waited years, decades before they won a Best Director. This is Ben 3rd movie.  All this crying about he got snubbed, please.  Steven was snubbed before also as well as Martin.  Hitchcock never won an Oscar.  Again "Argo" was good but this whole "Let's give Ben everything cause he didn't get a Best Director Oscar Nod" seems a little to much for me.  Lincoln wins 4, Argo wins 3

Kubrick never won an Oscar either.

Kubrick never won an Oscar either.

 

Yes he did. One for Visual Effects with Douglas Trunbull. 

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Yes he did. One for Visual Effects with Douglas Trunbull. 

Seems kinda sad that is the only Oscar he ever got. 

[riczhang]

But, I'd rather him be rewarded for the best thing he's ever done than be rewarded for lesser Kubrick. The effects used on 2001 were composed with such complexity and technical deftness. It's by far the best thing he's ever done.

I remember a lot of those early roles though I was disappointed they missed this in the Helen Hunt retrospective

Helen Hunt has a sexy husky voice.

Helen Hunt has a sexy husky voice.

Helen Hunt is naked about 80% of her screentime in The Sessions, so if you're into her you should check that out. She's really good in it, too
