and that list doesn’t include directors who were nominated but haven’t won yet, like Van Sant, Greengrass, PTA, Schnabel, W. Anderson, Lanthimos, and Spike Lee, or directors of best picture noms like Coogler, Guadagnino, Mackenzie, Baumbach, Kosinski, Cooper, Song, Berger, Chu, and others I’m sure!

2025 is such a wild year for movies bc by my count, there are 11 Oscar-winning directors with movies out this year (Levinson, Gibson, Cameron, Soderbergh, Howard, E. Coen, Boyle, Bigelow, del Toro, Bong, Zhao)!

it’s hard to find much about the show online, partly because the Barbra Streisand movie is also a musical (with completely different songs), but you can listen to two of the songs here: www.npr.org/2012/02/05/1...

very sad to hear the news about Jill Sobule. she wrote songs for an incredible musical of Yentl that premiered at the Asolo Rep in 2012, and I often wish to see it produced again.

21 Guns (feat. Green Day & the Cast of American Idiot) [Live at the Grammy's] by Green Day on Apple Music Music Video Β· 2010 Β· Duration 4:36

ok my most millennial trait is my deep love for American Idiot-era Green Day and that Coachella set was so good BUT my hot take is that 21 Guns sounds better when sung by Rebecca Naomi Jones and the women from the original Broadway cast! music.apple.com/us/music-vid...

Been watching some classics this year that I’d somehow missed. I can’t believe I went my whole life without seeing It Happened One Night or The Philadelphia Story! My god, both are wonderful. And on Tubi, so free to watch! (With absurd commercial break placement)
