54 nominations. The most of any living person and 5 short of the record (Walt Disney, because he’s listed as a producer on a billion shorts.)
Ludwig Göransson has three Oscars and is 41.
John Williams has five Oscars and is 94.
You know the difference? Williams first gig was as a jazz pianist and Göransson's was writing the incidental music on "Community." It's Greendale magic!

Man, I love that PTA invoked the all-timer year of 1975 in his speech. Go watch all five of those movies! One Battle will last. Sinners will last. Congratulations to all and to all a good night!
Smash that ceiling, Autumn! #sinners
National service but everyone has to work in customer service for minimum wage for six months.
Either this will make people nicer and create social cohesion or lead directly to Mad Max.
But without immigration, we’d have negative population growth, so… goodbye contraception. And then jobs.
Racism leads to misogyny and vice versa. What constitutes “people” gets smaller and smaller.
Hot take: There isn’t a single Scorsese movie that’s a waste of your time.
Even the meh ones (New York, New York, Boxcar Bertha) have something worth while in there. And some of the unsung ones (After Hours, Kundun, Last Temptation, Color of Money) may become your favorite.
Do they think this will hurt us? We’ve been called slackers and losers and underachievers for 35 years.
Soy un perdador.
Your J6 work was invaluable, and I wish you the best of luck in what’s left of actual journalism.
The real problem is how poorly badger history is taught in schools.
They never teach you about how badgers donated rifles to the 14th Skunk Regiment in the US Civil War because they’re afraid of solidarity.
Too bad “Madam gaGA” isn’t performing.
This isn't a country. It's a hostage situation. Can someone please take the gun away from the toddler?
Mobile kitchen near the front. German bombers hit them and the gas tank for the oven blew. Luckily, he was outside, so the burns on his arms were from fighting the fire, not the explosion.
And then he went home and kept being a baker.
One grandfather ran a lunch counter/convenience store, the other was a baker who received a Purple Heart in WWII. For baking. His oven got bombed.
It fits me. Being helpful, seems safe, get injured anyway.
I liked working my way through the list as a teen, then making fun of every masterpiece not on the list as “officially worse than Yankee Doodle Dandy, according to the AFI.”
Yep, still open
Long repeating sections are like their own category. Like the end of Suspicious Minds: if you don’t switch to singing with the Sweet Inspirations, or the trumpets, I don’t understand you.
I have the Criterion. It looks fierce.
Yeah, there were so many shitty Night of the Living Dead versions on VHS or DVD because anyone could put it out and they had no reason to get a good print.
We watched “Bugonia” the other night and my husband thought it was weird Emma Stone was singing along with the backup parts of a song.
I said I do that sometimes; some songs demand it, ie. “Midnight Train to Georgia.” (🎶 Woo woo! 🎶)
Do you sing along with backup singers, and if so when?
It’s a sin some of these fell into public domain (Notorious AND Charade?! Are studios THAT afraid of sexy thrillers with awesome female leads!?)
But their loss is your gain.
Olé!

Thank you for leading me to this google result.
You can be a responsible citizen and not watch the State of the Union. Look up a transcript afterward.
That way you don’t have the hear his voice, look at the gibbering applause-monkeys, or watch the corpse of Rush Limbaugh win a fucking prize.
