...world outside and they must aim for it. Let the American Negro have the courage to love, even where that love might not be returned. In short, I hope that the American Negro, in the name of Dr. Martin Luther King, will play it long, strong and very cool...

George Kennedy's recognition as best supporting actor in Cool Hand Luke was long overdue. But naming Estelle Parsons best supporting actress for Bonnie and Clyde was only quirky: hers was the least significant characterization in the movie. Though Bonnie and Clyde was nominated for ten awards, the Academy ultimately gave it the back of its handout: the most distinguished...
