Matt vs. the Academy: Fade In...
http://mattvstheacademy.blogspot.com/2009/08/fade-in.html
Matt vs. the Academy. One man's ridiculous attempt to watch every film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Tuesday, August 18, 2009. After much deliberation on how to introduce this ridiculous project, I have come to the conclusion that said project is not merely ridiculous, but also, for the most part, arbitrary and irrelevant. For all intents and purposes, this project has very few intents. Purposes. In simple terms, I plan to sit down and watch (not in one sitting, obviously). So, why then? Perha...

Matt vs. the Academy. One man's ridiculous attempt to watch every film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Thursday, March 7, 2013. 1942 - Mrs. Miniver. Argo became only the fourth film to win the big prize without achieving a Best Director nomination (after Wings, Grand Hotel and Driving Miss Daisy). Daniel Day-Lewis is now only the sixth performer to have three Oscar statuettes, all three of his wins for lead roles (second only to Katharine Hepburn with four Best Actress awards). Christoph Waltz a...

CHASING OSCAR - Road to Madness
http://chasing-oscar.blogspot.com/2012/05/joanne-woodward-as-rachel-cameron-in.html
The Academy Awards and Me. As Rachel Cameron in RACHEL, RACHEL (1968). Joanne Woodward received her second Oscar nomination playing Rachel Cameron, a 35-year-old spinster schoolteacher, who feels that her life is meaningless. Haunted by memories of her childhood and her mortician father, Rachel spends each frustrating day taking care of her mother and working with the schoolchildren. The character of Rachel Cameron is an odd one. She still sleeps in her child bed, and still lives. Well-directed by Paul N...

Matt vs. the Academy. One man's ridiculous attempt to watch every film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Monday, March 23, 2015. 1996 - Secrets and Lies. After an early morning trip to the airport, Kat and Charlie are back home, with my in-laws in tow. As everyone attempts to recover from their jet lag - and at 13 months, Charlie doesn't know if it's day or night, the poor little guy - I managed to write up my thoughts on the last film of this year of review. Clearly showing his comedic chops are ...

Matt vs. the Academy. One man's ridiculous attempt to watch every film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Wednesday, April 1, 2015. 1943 - Madame Curie. Well, I mentioned the possibility of having to change the next year of review and, indeed, circumstances now require that I do just that. My plan to see The Apartment at the TCM Classic Film Festival. So, we'll come back to 1960 another time, but for now, we begin our review of the Academy's nominated films of 1943. Based on the book by Eve Curie).
