I really appreciate those word...Thank you so much! I really appreciate those words for so many reasons, not the least of which being that I've been reading both your site and Nathaniel's since I was fourteen years old. I remember being that age and typing the words "Oscar Predictions" into a search engine. A lot of sites came up. I won't name any names obviously, but it was (and is) a lot of writing on the subject from people who not only seem to despise everything about the Oscars, but don't give any indication that even enjoy watching films. I appreciate the way that both of you (and not in the same way either) talk not just about the Oscar race, which (clearly) has always been an obsession of mine, but about movies in general. There are so many films (<i>Velvet Goldmine</i>, <i>The Piano</i>, <i>Silkwood</i>, etc, etc, etc) where the first time I had even heard of them was by reading one or both of your sites and they have become essential parts of my movie-watching narrative.The Pretentious Know it Allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279181033628364368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410700671883829851.post-51705978473996097332013-08-15T12:19:36.304-04:002013-08-15T12:19:36.304-04:00You're one of my favorite commenters at Nathan...You're one of my favorite commenters at Nathaniel's site or at mine, and it's such a treat to hear your own thoughts at post length. It's amazing how 100% simpatico we are not only on the shot you finally picked (one of the six I selected, too) but on so many contextualizing points re: this movie, The Hours, the films we would have voted for, the limitations of Winfrey's work, and the reasons we'd have voted for Avery. Thanks for writing this.NicksFlickPickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607501848596529493noreply@blogger.com
