Looks like we're only a few minutes behind schedule. Next up is Direction, then my typing test, then the last Big 3...
I'll set the timer. You need to type at least 50 wpm if you want this as a permanent job.  TIS

BTW, isn't it usually the "rule" that whoever wins Director, THAT movie wins picture? (not always but nearly always)  TIS More or less usually, rule of thumb. EDIT - I like Michael Douglas. His voice sounds off no??  I do hope he's ok. TIS He beat throat cancer like a drum. He's alright. EDIT 2 - I never understood Woody Allen skipping the Oscars.

Hey, what the fuck??? You didn't capitalize any of the names???
TIS, it seems like there wasn't the usual longer list of big name actors this past year. True. Liz Taylor was probably the biggest "movie star" on the list, with Jane Russell, Farley Granger, Ben Gazzara and Peter Falk next. TIS
