Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, The Favourite by #YorgosLanthimos starring #OliviaColman, #RachelWeisz and #EmmaStone, "a period All About Eve with touches of Fielding grotesquerie"

BEST SOUND RECORDING 1954: Audiences loved their Musician biopics then as they do now, many of the post-war entries concerned with popular bandleaders. Among the most successful was THE GLENN MILLER STORY starring James Stewart faking a trumpet and June Allyson still flashing that toothy smile (reuniting them after he faked a missing leg and she flashed that smile in The Stratton Story five years earlier). The film showed up at the Oscars with three measly nominations but managed to score a touchdown in one category when the sound recording by Alberta-born LESLIE I. CAREY won him his first and only Oscar. He was also nominated for Once More My Darling (1949), Louisa (1950), Bright Victory (1951), The Mississippi Gambler (1953) and A Time To Love and a Time To Die (1958). He died in 1984.

Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, Creed II by #StevenCapleJr starring #MichaelBJordan, #TessaThompson and #SylvesterStallone, "Told with the same amount of style as Ryan Coogler’s original but only some of the substance"

BEST SOUND RECORDING 1953: Fred Zinnemann's lauded FROM HERE TO ETERNITY set a new record for Oscars with eight wins, the most awarded to a film since Gone With The Wind, and among them was the requisite sound award for a war movie to JOHN P. LIVADARY at the Columbia Sound Department. He previously won for One Night of Love (1934), The Jolson Story (1946) and was given Sci-Tech awards in 1937, 1944, 1950 and 1954. He was nominated for Love Me Forever (1935), Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (1936), Lost Horizon (1937), You Can't Take It With You (1938), Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (1939), Too Many Husbands (1940), The Men In Her Life (1941), You Were Never Lovelier (1942), Sahara (1943), Cover Girl (1944), A Song To Remember (1945), The Caine Mutiny (1954), The Eddy Duchin Story (1956), Pal Joey (1957). He died in 1987. MyOldAddiction.com #JohnLivadary #FromHereToEternity #Oscars #BestSound #BestSoundRecording
