Oscar beauty and fashion has arguably eclipsed the awards themselves, and we all love catching a glimpse of our favourite stars on the red carpet. This year's ceremony was no exception and actresses such as Jessica Alba, Nicole Kidman and Cameron Diaz wow.

According to Nielsen, 91 million people saw the Super Bowl last year, compared to 39 million who watched the Oscars. Still, the Academy Awards is one of the most tuned-into TV events every year. And ABC charges for the commercial time dearly: $1.7 million for 30 seconds. That's not a huge bargain, considering Super Bowl advertising spots sold for $2.6 million on CBS last month.

The top Nielsen-rated television program from 1971 to 1976, All In The Family is widely regarded as one of the greatest TV sitcoms ever produced. Inspired by The Flintstones and The Honeymooners, All In The Family focused on the weekly antics of its own loud-mouth, politically-incorrect Fred Flintstone/Ralph Kramden clone, and like his predecessors, Archie Bunker has a hidden sensitive side.

Antonia's Line won the 1995 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but its postscript fails to reveal a dark side that Hollywood typically ignores, making it an average film at best. The Aviator earns 11 Oscar nominations and wins five, including Cate Blanchett's portrayal as Katharine Hepburn, but was simply too negative and too graphic in its presentation to become a great film.

People do the most amazing things and far to often they receive no
recognition for their insanity or stupidity. This is one of the great
injustices of the world. Why should some actor get an Oscar award and public
acclaim while some brain damaged self destructive human hockey-puck
receive nothing for his deeds in some far away place? We work to right
this wrong and are making progress every time we post our stories for you
to see.

Something's Gotta Give is a romantic comedy without substance that works because of Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. Keaton is one the few actresses at age 60 who has been able to partner with bankable leading men. She seems to have found the secret to staying young, alive and attractive while Nicholson at 69 and counting appears his age and has not benefited from the passage of time. Keaton is one fine looking 60-year-old woman. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,
It's funny how some things turn out, isn't it? Now you take that Bush - Gore fiasco back in 2000. That sure turned out bad for Gore, and some people say for the whole country as well. I wonder. Related Article Tags: , , , , ,
What Women Want is a romantic comedy light enough to float away. Helen Hunt is a real talent with real hardware and seemed so on top of her game after the release of What Women Want in 2000. Heck, I figured, move over Julia Roberts and hello Helen Hunt as America's newest sweetheart, but Hunt did Cast Away with Tom Hanks and then returned to Broadway. The two rising stars today are Reese Witherspoon and Hilary Swank. Related Article Tags: , , , , , ,
The 1964 musical My Fair Lady is one of the best movies ever made, earning 12 Oscar nominations and winning 8 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director (George Cukor) and Best Actor (Rex Harrison) among major awards. See My Fair Lady with your children at home, and enjoy a Broadway musical. The Phantom of the Opera has it all: a story line, plot, great writing, great presentation, and even better music and lyrics. Phantom is a must see. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,
Let me get to the most important thing first: Director Martin Scorsese won an Oscar for "The Departed". Scorsese, one of the most accomplished directors of our era, has been nominated for 7 Oscars-5 for Best Director and 2 for Best Screenplay-before winning with The Departed. The Departed is simply the best mob film since Mario Puzo's original Godfather in 1972. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
Was there ever an actress who combined these four timeless qualities - beauty, fashion, grace and humility - better than Audrey Hepburn? I think not, especially when I see her again in Breakfast at Tiffany's. We shall not see another like her in our lifetime and by then the film industry may be on the way out when some newer, better technology unknown to us today arrives. Audrey Hepburn was a model of grace and humility. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,
