have struggled to match for over two decades. And it wasn’t only because of the “king of the world” moment.
I can still vividly remember going into my math teacher, Mrs. Peters’ 10:15 am class, where she asked, “So, who stayed up to watch the Oscars last night?” In today’s social media climate, pundits and enthusiasts would read into the SAG upset as a “chink in the armor” of Cameron’s sprawling three-hour epic. And it got off to a rocky start — the movie that was supposed to sweep kicked the night off with a loss for best supporting actress. At 87 years old, Gloria Stuart became the oldest performer ever nominated for a competitive Oscar, but came up short against Kim Basinger for “L.A. Confidential.
We also saw the comeback tales in 1997. Burt Reynolds, a pop culture sensation of the ’70s, had transitioned back to television with “Evening Shade” after starring in multiple box office disappointments. His feature revival and supporting actor nomination came when writer and director Paul Thomas Anderson cast him as adult film director Jack Horner in “Boogie Nights,” an examination of the 1970s porno industry in California.
On the global scale of box office returns, eight of the 10 highest earners received at least one Oscar nom – only “Tomorrow Never Dies” and “Liar Liar” were shut out . Aside from another huge Cameron movie with “Avatar: The Way of Water,” we have a Steven Spielberg movie that’s very well-respected but didn’t light it up at the box office . We have another international filmmaking debut that could be the little engine that could , and a film by a respected director that may not be a fit for best picture but could find love with acting and screenplay wins .
