As the #Oscars loom, it's worth mentioning that the record for most losses is 11. Set by Johnny Belinda (1948, 1 for 12), and later tied by Becket (1964, 1 for 12), The Turning Point (1977, 0 for 11), The Color Purple (1985, 0 for 11), and The Power of the Dog (2021, 1 for 12).

Why isn't the opening to Everybody's Trying to be my Baby "They took some honey from a BEE"? The rhyme still works, and it accurately conveys where honey comes from (nectar comes from trees, not honey).

Germany has now received nominations for Best International Feature Film three years in a row. The last country to do this was Canada (2010-2012); the last time a country had a longer run was France's five in a row from 1976-1980, spanning Cousin Cousine to Le Dernier Métro. #Oscars

This #Oscars nomination trivia struck me immediately: All five Best Actress nominees are from Best Picture nominees. This is only the fourth time this has happened (last time was 1977).
All five Supporting Actress nominees, too. This has also only happened three times before (last was 2016).

I love Richard Vernon but I can't believe what I just found out, that this is what he looked like at 39, a year younger than I am now, in A Hard Day's Night and Goldfinger in 1964.

Watched "The Holdovers" on the plane. Funny and touching, great performances, but given its opening aesthetic I was really expecting it to feel more 70s. The film didn't evoke the decade in any real way, either in its plot or its look, aside from some obligatory Vietnam references. Bit of a letdown.
