But it is a shame that the Academy hands these out like candy, when actual wins for many of them would be so much more iconic.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-68323169360860397652013-02-20T08:54:56.339-05:002013-02-20T08:54:56.339-05:00The fact that Fellini has TWELVE nominations only ...The fact that Fellini has TWELVE nominations only reminds me how there was a decade or two when the Academy had balls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-22176550188490803522013-02-20T08:43:18.053-05:002013-02-20T08:43:18.053-05:00ugh, the Academy...

Well, some of my all-time favorite actors/directors are in there, so it's kind of a sad list. On the other hand, their work speaks for itself, and that's what an artist is remembered for.

She's been in the game for so long and has delivered some Oscar-worthy performances throughout.<br />My faves are Greta Garbo, Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson, Howard Hawks, Barbara Stanwyck, Deborah Kerr, Cary Grant, Sidney Lumet, and Federico Fellini.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731135068727753624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-76015615491566230342013-02-20T00:31:16.481-05:002013-02-20T00:31:16.481-05:00This is an impressive list -- it's hard to bel...This is an impressive list -- it's hard to believe many of these people have never won competitive Oscars.
