I’ver been so bummed by the whole Oscar situation that I didn’t update my Gold Derby predictions until last night, and that was mainly because Tom O’Neil kicked my ass and told me I hadn’t updated “since the Coolidge administration.” All I can say is God help the Academy (i.e., the Oscar telecast) if they have another lineup like this next year. The lack of fire and suspense and just plain interest is breathtaking. Harvey’s win (and no slam on the guy — he’s just doing what he does and God love him) is the film community’s loss.
