New York Film Critics Circle

Really?

Yeah, because I think Alyssa Wilkinson had to resign from New York Film Critics.

Oh, I thought I hadn't seen them in a while.

Okay, that's interesting.

Uh, so anyway, there's some other stuff I have here.

New York Film Critics, Janet McTeer is number third in Best Actress after Hilary Swank and Julianne Moore-

Mm

... and above Kate Winslet for Holy Smoke.

Um, Time Magazine called it one of their top 10 films of the year.

We won the, the New York Critics Circle Award for best film.

So it did really well for him and for us, and then we made another two films with him.

Uh, and sadly he died two years ago.

Uh, it wasn't, um, it wasn't the same kind of, uh, institution, and things like the New York Theater, Film Critics Award was as important, uh, as the Oscars.

Whereas today, the Oscars are, you know, by far and away the award people follow, and she would win the New York Film Critics Award.

So, uh, yeah, I don't think the Oscars were fair to her, but I also don't think anyone thought she would stop acting in 1941.

I mean, she's 36 years old.

Ultimately, Gary and Francis Coppola co-produced the film with George Lucas directing from a screenplay co-authored by Lucas, Gloria Katz, and Willard Huyck.

The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Comedy, and walked away with both the New York Film Critics and the National Society of Film Critics Awards for Best Screenplay.

It is also one of the most successful films of all time.

Having worked as a lab technician, electrician, writer, cameraman, director, editor, sound mixer, assistant director, still photographer, production manager, and producer, Gary Kurtz had the knowledge to coordinate the technical, logistical, and artistic needs of a film of epic proportions such as Star Wars.

Part

one won just about every major critics award for best documentary last year, including National Society of Film Critics and the New York Film Critics Circle.

Yeah, so good.

All right, well, that's a good start out the gate.

As resolved as Tallulah was to stay on the wagon for the sake of British civilization, she obeyed the doctor's orders.

After the fact, Hitchcock somewhat snidely remarked to François Truffaut that, "The characterization by Tallulah Bankhead dominated the whole film." That dominance was praised by the New York Film Critics Circle, who gave Tallulah their Best Actress prize for Lifeboat.

Given that most people now alive were not able to see Bankhead on stage, Lifeboat is the greatest testament to her acting talent that survives today.

Though the movie earned three Oscar nominations, including one for Hitchcock's direction and another for John Steinbeck's story, Bankhead was snubbed by the Academy.
