Network. This film grabbed three Oscars for best actor, best actress and best screenplay in 1976, but it wasn't much of a year. The best thing about this movie about the shenanigans behind the evening news at UBS is commentator Peter Finch's letter-perfect imitation of Eric Sevareid. But once you get over your amusement at that stentorian phrasing you find nothing. This film is as sterile as a 30-second clip of Amy Carter walking to her integrated school.

Bobby Kelley and Steve Tilles then advanced him to third with a perfect sacrifice and a sliced single to left respectively. Mike Stenhouse brought Pearce home with a fly to short center which Jumbo Dan O'Brien caught and made a strong peg toward the plate with. Yet first baseman and brother Kevin O'Brien mysteriously cut the throw off at the mound and still made a relay that almost nabbed Pearce...
