Brilliant essay with its closing: Did this film direct itself? and its commentary on women directors: Wowza, Erin. You hit it big with this essay. And lovers of all films and the Oscars should read it and comment. So worthy of commentary, as everything you write about film is! Gotta love this Substack.
Can’t Billy Crystal come back as host? Actually funny
I wish!!! Let’s start a campaign on his behalf
Yes please!

Mary! Thank you for the kind words, and I return the love!
Incredible! I loved that he did that for barbara! Class act
A king!
So angry.
I wish I'd offered some solutions in this newsletter! Maybe they could expand the director nominations as they did for Best Picture.
That's not a bad idea! I haven't seen all the films so I can't offer a good idea for who I'd swap out.
My list would include Celine Song, Alexander Payne, Greta, Justine Triet and Scorsese
