...SPIELBERG, 0. That Los Angeles Times headline last week trumpeted the most anomalous Oscar nomination outcome in recent years. Both chosen as best picture candidates, Out of Africa and The Color Purple tied for the most nominations with eleven each. Africa's total included a nomination for best actress to Meryl Streep and for best director to Sydney Pollack, but while Whoopi Goldberg was named for Purple, Director Steven Spielberg was glaringly omitted, after being nominated three times in the past. Why? Some of Hollywood's glittersnipes speculate that it is sheer jealousy over his relentless commercial successes. Said veteran...
...have been a high offense against Gallic gifts, as Adjani proved anew in a recent photo session modeling her favorite clothes from the collections of such designers as Paris' Azzedine Alaia.

Days and Nights Within was chosen to showcase Peterson's talents and those of the woman he lives with, Remains and Steppenwolf Actress Amy Morton.

Fox from the list of Best Supporting Actors for his much-touted portrayal of a contemporary teenager who goes back in time to encounter his nifty fifties parents courtesy of a souped-up DeLorean. Although Fox's contribution to Back to the Future is unlikely to go down in the annals of movie history, his approach to the quintessential teen Marty McFly was fresh and unencumbered, in sharp contrast to those featured in the large proportion...
...exception of Terry Gilliam's Brazil or The Kiss of the Spiderwoman), this black comedy chronicling the adventures of Yuppie Everyman Griffin Dunne as he tries to extract himself from a darkened SoHo should have been a shoe-in for nominations in the Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress category. What happened? Were all the members of the Academy sick the night that this film was screened...
