    Coming here after reading Paul's book! I can feel his heart beating in his acceptance speech, Marcia said George didn't want to be thanked! (you can kind of see it in her reaction!) They agreed to speak in the order they were credited, but once Paul was done Marcia said after that he thanked everyone and she had no one to add. Richard just followed suit. Paul has said it is one of his biggest regrets not mentioning his family, especially his brother. It's a wonderful book for any aspiring editor or film-fanatic! Highly recommend! :-)

    Interesting side note to this award. Farrah had just left TV for the movies. She was BIG, really BIG. She demanded a BIG mane as her co-presenter. She wanted Olivier or Brando!! She (or her people) nixed Henry Winkler, Jeff Bridges & others. This was her big entry into film stardom. When the world's 2 best actors proved unavailable, she grudgingly settled on nominee Marcello. Then SOMEBODY KILLED HER HUSBAND opened followed by SUNBURN and the rest is history.

    @leafyutube There was no logic. It was done on purpose for some people to get upset at the thought of MJ getting a tribute over Farrah. Clearly, Farrah should have been in the tribute because of her body of work as an actress in film. It was just ignorant yet typical Hollywood bs to start a minor uproar over two decease individuals. Even the excuse for Farrah's exclusion given by the Academy was stupid. Nowadays, the media is all around bizarre and predicable.

    This is the woman who was close enough to George Lucas to override his autistic decisions. George Lucas probably suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, honestly. Marcia was able to inject emotion into the original Star Wars in ways that were LITERALLY incomprehensible to George -- he truly does not understand emotion... at all. AT ALL. The man has serious, serious mental issues. That in itself doesn't make him a bad person, but it does make him something different than what he pretends to be. You'll notice that many, many Star Wars prequel fans are also autistic.

But you're wrong if you think they still make movies like Network or French Connection or Taxi Driver or Chinatown or Last Detail or etc, etc, etc. At least not by the major studios in Hollywood. Hollywood doesn't make "art" movies anymore (aka: any movie that isn't laden with cgi, car crashes, explosions, superheroes, brand familiarity AND aka: 90% of all movies made in the golden age of Hollywood). Yes, there are some "art" movies being made independently of Hollywood.

    ***** 95% of what Hollywood studios make now are big tentpole blockbusters. It takes a HUGE name like Scorsese or Spielberg or Eastwood to make those "passion pieces" you mentioned. So any director/producer/actor w/o iconic legendary status is NOT going to get a "passion piece" made (and even most of THEM won't get a "passion piece" made). So what are the chances of new directors getting something like that made? ZILCH. And I disagree that there aren't great screenplays being written. The talent has always been there. The difference is that in the 70s, the suits allowed the "talent" to make the movies they wanted instead of nowadays where the five major Hollywood studios are just one arm of a corporate conglomerate that is only interested in monetizing a movie that can return billions of dollars on their investment. I will agree it probably would have happened regardless of Jaws & Star Wars. Corporate greed has ruined everything. No reason to think movies would be any different.
