Re: Academy Awards: best picture not nominated for best director?

The whole membership selects the Best Picture nominees. Best Director nominees are only chosen by the Directors' branch, so there will always be discrepancies.

Re: Christopher Plummer

My favourite of his many great performances may be as Rudyard Kipling in The Man Who Would Be King, more than holding his own opposite Michael Caine and Sean Connery at their best. He is also brilliant as Harry Reikle in The Silent Partner - a truly despicable villain, dark and vicious yet with just...

Solondz and the Dardennes may have disowned their early features, but they still started well before 1994.
Thanks for the catch - with Solondz especially I have always believed that Welcome to the Dollhouse was his debut... edited above.

Re: Ranking the Bond films

I do want to watch Satantango one of these days, but it feels like homework. I haven't seen The Ipcress File since I was a wee lad and don't remember anything about it other than its VHS sleeve.
