I just read this from your blog--I can't believe i missed this news. Overjoyed that I am, I must say it's about time the Academy honored more than one individual per year. Thanks for posting this. - Tom Wow! I just read this from your blog–I can’t believe i missed this news.

The great makeup artist, Dick Smith, was given a special lifetime award in June. From what I read, it seemed like it was a very special event. My hope is that there is better care taken (like with Smith's) when they are not regulated by specific time restraints of live TV and can gather loved ones and the most formidable and honorable of close colleagues to celebrate properly.

Or better yet, maybe I'll watch a double bill of my own two favorite Corman flicks, The Pit and the Pendulum and The Haunted Palace.

The television audience that the Academy thinks they are trying to please will never know what they're missing. Of course it would make the actual awards show besides the point, but then I know some of us would rather watch <b>Attack of the Crab Monsters</b> on an old black and white Dumont TV, than see some of the Oscar nominees in a luxurious IMAX theater.

Surely all three of those recipients deserved to be seen ... it's BACALL, for chrissake. That is bad news, Kimberly, those montages were the best thing about the Oscars.
