EPISODE 76 - “MEMORABLE OSCAR SPEECHES OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF HOLLYWOOD” - 2/24/2025 Winning an Oscar is a dream for most people who work in Hollywood. But you can't just win the Oscar, you have to have a good speech once your name is called and you head to the podium. There have been some great ones — OLIVIA COLEMAN's funny and cheeky speech hit the right tone and who can forget JACK PALANCE's one-arm push-ups or CUBA GOODING's exuberance? There have also been some bad ones — don't we all still cringe a little at SALLY FIELDS' “You like me” speech? As we prepare to celebrate the 97th annual Academy Award ceremony, Steve and Nan look back on some of their favorite Oscar speeches and why they resonate. So put on your tux, don the gown and jewels, pop the champagne, and join us for a fun talk about … well, people talking.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: “Five Times The Oscars Made History,” January 20, 2017, www.nyfa.edu; “Hollywood History: How World War II Forced the Academy to Rethink the 1942 Oscars,” April 16, 2021, Entertainment Weekly; “Charlie Chaplin vs. America Explores the Accusations that Sent a Star Into Exile,” October 24, 2023, byTerry Gross, www.npr.com; “The Most Memorable Oscar Speeches in Oscar History,” March 6, 2024, by Shannon Carlin, www.time.com;   Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; www.Oscars.org; Movies Mentioned:  Stella Dallas (1938), starring Barbara Stanwyck, John Boles, Anne Shirley, & Alan Hale; Gone With The Wind (1939), starring Vivian Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, Leslie Howard, Hattie McDaniel, Butterfly McQueen, Thomas Mitchell, & Barbara O'Neil; How Green Was My Valley (1941), starring Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, & Donald Crisp; Sergeant York (1941), starring Gary Cooper, Joan Leslie, & Walter Brennan;  The Devil and Miss Jones (1941), staring Jean Arthur Robert Cummings, & Charle Coburn; Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), starring Robert Montgomery, Claude Rains, & Evelyn Keyes; Ball of Fire (1942), starring Barbara Stanwyck & Cary Cooper; Double Indemnity (1944), starring Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray & Edward G Robinson; Key Largo (1948); starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G Robinson, Claire Trevor, & Lionel Barrymore; All The King's Men (1948), starring Broderick Crawford, John Ireland, Joanne Dru, & Mercedes McCambridge; Pinky (1949), starring Jeanne Crain, Ethel Waters, Ethel Barrymore, Nina Mae McKinney, & Wiliam Lundigan; Marty (1955); starring Ernest Borgnine.

Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America and all ships at sea, and welcome to Episode 57 of Vintage Sand, our first of 2025. In this episode and the next one we return, for the penultimate time, to the source of some of our most popular episodes: Danny Peary's hard-to-find 1993 classic "Alternative Oscars". In the past, we have used Peary's model to approach every full decade in which the Academy has handed out Oscars except two: the 2010's, and the topic for this two-part episode, Alternate Oscars: The 1940's Edition. It's interesting that the 40's are considered to be the peak of Hollywood's Golden Age, yet many films that were beloved and honored back then have not well withstood the passage of time. The early part of the decade's most important development was the rise of the writer/director in Hollywood. Preston Sturges was the first, with his incredible run of films from 1940-1945, and he was followed quickly by the Billy Wilder/Charles Brackett team and, of course, that clever young fellow from the Mercury Theater. The 40's also marked the arrival of Hitchcock to these shores, and the rise to prominence of new directorial voices like Huston, Preminger, Zinnemann and Nicholas Ray. There were also many high points in the decade for well-established directors like Ford, Capra, Hawks, Lubitsch and Wyler. We have the incredible run of films between 1942 and 1946 made by Val Lewton's brilliant B-movie unit at RKO, and, of course, the birth of film noir, overseen predominantly by expats like Wilder, Lang, Preminger, Ulmer, Lewis and Siodmak. The latter half of the decade, which we will cover in Episode 58 in February, saw two major developments. The end of the war saw the return to strength of many European film industries as well as studio filmmaking in Japan. In France, in the wake of 1945's miraculous "Les Enfants du Paradis", directors as different as Cocteau, Clouzot and Bresson began or restarted their careers. This explosion of creativity was matched in the UK, with the arrival of Lean, Reed, and especially with the flowering of the Powell-Pressburger Archers team. Clearly, though, the most important such event was the rise of what today is called Italian Neo-Realism, as directors like Rossellini, De Sica, and to a lesser extent Visconti, created a brand new way to tell stories on film that is still influencing directors today. The second big change of the late 40's was really two changes in one: the landmark Paramount court case in 1948 that ended the vertical monopoly the studios had long held as owners of theater chains as well, and the mass arrival of television. Between 1948 and 1952, Hollywood lost nearly half of its audience, bringing down the curtain on that so-called “Golden Age” of Hollywood. In terms of the Oscars, the Academy made solid choices for Best Picture--they certainly picked better films than they did in the 1930's! These included enduring works like "The Best Years of Our Lives", "All the King's Men" and especially, "Casablanca". Who could argue with that? (Hint: us.) But there were plenty of head scratchers as well. Prestige choices like "How Green Was My Valley", "Mrs. Miniver" and Olivier's "Hamlet" look a little creaky these days. Hell, we might argue that "Rebecca" was not even Hitchcock's best film of 1940! And the less said about "Going My Way" and "Gentlemen's Agreement", the better. So kick back, round up the usual suspects, and help us make this podcast more important than the gas in that light…

Donald Crisp took home on Oscar for his powerful performance in How Green Was My Valley, but that was just one notch on his belt during a long Hollywood career that stretched from the silent era to the 1960s and included stints as actor, producer, and director. We'll hear him in "Banquo's Chair" - the story of a Scotland Yard inspector with an ingenious method to catch a killer (originally aired on CBS on June 1, 1943). Then, Crisp is a psychiatrist who tries to discover what haunts a railroad tycoon in "Case History of Edgar Lowndes" (originally aired on CBS on June 8, 1944). Plus, he recreates his Academy Award-winning role in The Screen Guild Theatre (originally aired on CBS on March 22, 1942).

Sophia and Nick return for an historic episode to discuss the director with the most Oscar wins and the first to win consecutively: John Ford. Revered by many filmmakers throughout history and known for his Westerns, Ford blazed a trail that also showcased his Irish background, his actors- many of whom also won Oscars- and the fractured American Dream. They begin with a thorough history of his illustrious career before reviewing The Informer, the 1935 film for which he won his first Oscar. Even though he didn't win for Stagecoach four years later, he was successful the following year with The Grapes of Wrath (28:34). Steinbeck's classic novel created a perfect tapestry for his next directorial feat.

Joining us for the third year in a row, Variety's Senior Awards Editor Clayton Davis breaks down this year's Oscar races for Best Documentary Feature and Best Documentary Short and offers his predictions for who will be victorious at the 96th Academy Awards on March 10th. With the feature doc category taking on a very international flavor this year, what does Clayton think of how the process unfolded from the shortlist to the nominations? How might Netflix's late acquisition of “To Kill a Tiger” affect the outcome? In what is considered a very tight race, what might tip the balance?   With his encyclopedic knowledge of the Oscars (you'll even catch a reference to “How Green Was My Valley” in the pod) and his finger-on-the-pulse of the overall Awards season, Clayton takes us through each of the nominees and gives you his unique insights into the process.   Also, be sure to catch our “Top Docs” interviews with all of the Oscar-nominated directors in the documentary feature and shorts categories.   Clayton Davis is Variety's Senior Awards Editor. He is also one of the hosts of the "Variety Awards Circuit Podcast" and the video web series, "The Take." He's been an awards, film and television analyst and critic for more than 15 years and has co-hosted the Oscars Pre-Show on ABC. Clayton is also co-founder and president of the Latino Entertainment Journalists Association and is a board member of the Critics Choice Association.   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.   Follow: @ByClaytonDavis on Instagram and twitter @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter   Oscar Nominees: Features: 20 Days in Mariupol Bobi Wine:  The People's President Eternal Memory Four Daughters To Kill a Tiger   Shorts: The ABCs of Book Banning The Barber of Little Rock The Last Repair Shop Island In Between Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó (Grandma & Grandma)   Other recent documentaries discussed: Still: A Michael J.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 111: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has never been truer to himself than after his solid but unspectacular victory over Nikki Haley in New Hampshire last night. His toadies like Marjorie Taylor Greene were whining within 10 minutes of the closing of the polls that the tally had been rigged against him. And he overshadowed his own victory by getting up and sweating through an angry, petty, vindictive "victory" speech in which he once again resorted to stochastic threats against Haley, this time promising he could reveal enough about her to get her investigated by "them." President Biden, meanwhile, won a non-primary primary in which he wasn't even on the Beauty Pageant Ballot, and he still got about 67% of the votes. And new polling in Pennsylvania - showing him up +8 over Trump there - was probably yesterday's REAL biggest presidential race story. Meanwhile it's Day 9 of Trump's Dementia Crisis. Not only are other Republicans noticing he's making less sense and seeming less present every day, but Trump is now blithering his way through teleprompter speeches and making sound effects on camera - all of which can be neatly folded into Biden Campaign Commercials. And while Jamie Combover's impeachment theater may be coming to the end of its run, there's a sudden revival of the Matt Gaetz Ethics Investigation in Congress. Plus why the President needs to federalize the Texas National Guard and arrest Governor Greg Abbott - today. B-Block (21:00) IN SPORTS: Baseball's Hall of Fame elects new members - one too few, or two too many? Beltre was a lock but I have deep doubts about Helton and Mauer. And look out, another MLB team will be forced to wear those horrific City Connect Uniforms. (25:57) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: How do the Oscars folks do this every year? You nominate Ken but not Barbie? You nominate Barbie for best picture but not its director? This is a tradition that dates back to "How Green Was My Valley" winning best picture in 1941 instead of say, Citizen Kane or The Maltese Falcon. One weird trick that connects Lenin and Benny Hill. And farewell to the greatest radio newscaster of all-time, Charles Osgood. (35:15) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Eric Adams plays Musical Chairs with actual chairs. Oklahoma's immoral School Superintendent gives a job to the immoral LibsOfTikTok witch. And Tiffany Cross finally breaks her silence on who knifed her in the back at MSNBC. The answer? Joey Scars himself. Joe Scarborough. C-BLOCK (43:40) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Since we're already in Trash-MSNBC-Mode, let me tell you again of the story of how Lawrence O'Donnell, kindly filling in for me in 2010 while my Dad was dying, used the opportunity to try to get me fired, or try to get all my producers to leave with him for his new show. Scarborough is always the worst - but O'Donnell is close.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of I Am The Wiz, Wiz reviews the 1941 family drama How Green Was My Valley starring Walter Pidgeon, Donald Crisp, Maureen O'Hara, Sara Allgood and Roddy McDowall, directed by John Ford

A young boy comes of age in a family of hard working coal miners, and is forced to learn a lot of harsh lessons along the way. Join me as I discuss the 1941 Oscar winner for best picture: How Green Was My Valley

Our 14th episode covers the David Fincher's 'Mank' (2020) and the year 1942 when 'Citizen Kane' did not win Best Picture at the 14th Academy Awards.  Why did 'How Green Was My Valley' beat out not only 'Citizen Kane,' but also 'The Maltese Falcon'?  Why has the story of 'Citizen Kane' endured over the years? And will 'Mank' win Best Picture in 2021? But before we tackle those questions, we look at Shia LeBeouf's on-screen success and his off-screen troubles, including a recent lawsuit filed against him. Is he done or can he make a comeback?  Follow us on Twitter @theICRpodcast Email us incamerareviewpodcast@gmail.com

Wisdom from the Abbey–Mother Hilda–How Green Was My Valley (Mother Hilda remembers old film of many years ago called How Green Was My Valley, the story of a mining family in Wales and the eventual demise of their way of life. Hard economic times result in the breakup of the family, with the older sons leaving Wales for jobs overseas. The youngest son, an 8-year-old, tries to comfort his father. Mother Hilda thinks it's a bit like that with God and us. In the middle of the horrors of this present world, it is our little works of goodness, our acts of kindness, our acts of consideration, our prayer have the power to console the heart of God. This week let's do thinks that will console the heart of God.)

We are back with the 1941 Best Picture, How Green Was My Valley. It's the only Best Picture winner directed by the great John Ford, beating some very stiff competition. But this lovely film holds its own we think. It ranks at number 46 on our Best Picture Countdown.* Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.

O Regresso do Povo de Deus Leitura bíblica Jeremias 52.1-34, 2 Reis 24.10-20, João 2.19-21. Ao crescer, a nossa família tinha duas tradições favoritas nas noites de sexta-feira: os tacos caseiros e os filmes. Era uma forma de celebrar o fim de uma semana de trabalho/escola com duas coisas que todos podíamos gostar, embora concordar com os ingredientes para os tacos fosse muito mais fácil do que concordar na escolha de um filme. Uma noite, escolhemos "How Green Was My Valley", com base no romance de 1939 de Richard Llewellyn. Tínhamos um contexto absolutamente nulo. Alerta de espanto: depois de passarmos duas horas imersos em conflito desolador, morte e amor frustrado numa aldeia mineira de carvão, respirámos um suspiro de alívio e pronunciámo-lo "a coisa mais deprimente que alguma vez tínhamos visto". O filme tornou-se mais tarde uma piada interna na nossa família. Sendo mais do tipo "Singin'in the Rain", sempre que um de nós sugerisse outra exibição do filme, gritaríamos do outro lado da sala: "Desde que não seja “How Green Was My Valley”, certo?". Quer a nossa crítica não profissional fosse ou não uma descrição justa e precisa da história, é assim que muito do livro de Jeremias se sente. É uma leitura grosseira. A queda de Jerusalém é o último relato do nosso estudo quaresmal antes de entrar na Semana Santa, e nela um exército cerca a cidade e as pessoas são massacradas à direita e à esquerda. No entanto, embora a destruição, o exílio e a morte sejam temas enfatizados, o livro termina com o rei Jeconias de Judá sendo libertado da prisão e restabelecido na presença do rei da Babilónia (Jeremias 52.31-33). Sim! Até que enfim! Depois de uma saga tão desoladora, terminamos com gestos de bondade e misericórdia. Mas será suficiente? Talvez seja um pequeno salto, mas poderíamos dizer que a conclusão de Jeremias prefigura o nosso conhecimento deste lado da cruz: que, justamente quando as coisas parecem mais escuras, a esperança está em movimento. Deus não abandonou o Seu plano de redenção. Embora Naboconodosor tenha queimado o templo do Senhor (Jeremias 52.13), Jeremias, o povo de Judá, Israel, e Babilónia, são apenas alguns actores chave numa longa linha de tempo da história. Lembre-se que Deus veio como Jesus e permitiu que o templo do Seu próprio corpo fosse destruído para que pudesse ser levantado e restaurado para a nossa salvação (João 2.19-21). Entrar na leitura de hoje com este conhecimento enquadra a história com esperança. Amigos, ao terminarmos a história de Jeremias, optemos por encontrar a esperança incomparável aninhada entre as páginas da sua conclusão. Porque, na realidade, trata-se apenas de uma conclusão temporária. A misericórdia não é esquecida. Jesus Cristo veio, e Ele está a vir novamente.

It's the Alternative Oscars! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked. This time, we will be casting our eye back to…the 14th Academy Awards. Held February 26th 1942 at the Biltmore Bowl, Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. The host was Bob Hope. Bob Hope hosted the Oscars a record 19 times, more than Billy Crystal. On this particular Oscar night, John Ford's How Green Was My Valley won Best Picture and Best Director over Orson Welles's Citizen Kane.

It's 1941: the valleys are green, the accent work is shoddy, and nobody's cast age-appropriate. Erin, Claire, Dan, and special guest Olav Rokne (co-runner of the Hugo Book Club blog) take on How Green Was My Valley, one of the more infamous Best Picture winners, to figure out if Film History gives it more hate than it deserves. Some find simple beauty, some find subtle anti-capitalist themes, Dan tells us which scene he could watch on a loop for two hours, all agree that casting choices make it impossible to judge time. Then we jump across the pond to another green valley to see where 1941 America's head was at vis-a-vis war in the propaganda biopic Sergeant York, the war movie that almost forgets to have a war in it. Is How Green over-hated? Is York over-praised? Listen and find out!Find all of our episodes and the rest of Writing Therapy Productions' various entertainments at www.writingtherapyproductions.com

On this episode Patrick and Lauren welcome special guest Christina Perry of the Chain Theatre and the Usual Rejects to talk with them about the 1942 Best Picture Winner:How Green Was My ValleyStarring Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, and Roddy McDowellIt tells the story of the Morgans, a hard-working Welsh mining family, from the point of view of the youngest child Huw, who lives with his affectionate and kind parents as well as his sister and five brothers, in the South Wales Valleys during the late Victorian era. The story chronicles life in the South Wales coalfields, the loss of that way of life and its effects on the family. The fictional village in the film is based on Gilfach Goch, where Llewellyn spent many summers visiting his grandfather, and it served as the inspiration for the novel.Join us as we discuss how green  our valleys really were and fight over whether or not this was a good movie.  

Probably every society goes through revisionist history. Usually this happens gradually, over time, as stories become myths which become legends. Truth or fiction, it doesn't really matter, does it? Even now, stories are being retold to serve various agendas. The story of the election in 2020 has become a dark and witchy fairy tale on the left and a religious persecution story on the right. Each side clings to the myth that helps them sleep better at night. Yes, there are monsters roaming the countryside but it's okay because we have MSNBC to protect us. Trump didn't really lose the election because superhumans do not lose. Trump is an omnipotent force two ways it seems. Devil or Diety. Take your pick. The truth is much less complicated but it is risky to abandon the myths because the myths define us. There probably isn't a single event that can't be told a different way, or from a different perspective. I often think about that one Quaker back in Salem who spent a year in jail to make sure the story of mass hysteria and hangings was told. The horrors of Salem are so much bigger and so much more terrifying that the kitschy way Salem is remembered as witch hats and broomsticks is misleading. These are stories of children being forced to condemn their parents as witches. Poor women and their babies dying in prison. A man being crushed to death because he would not confess. Hangings that were applauded by the townspeople in the town square. Fear does strange things to us humans. Collective fear is unmanageable. The Monica Lewinsky myth is being retold because in the post Me Too era even the die-hard Democrats have turned on the withering charmer. He isn't now an echo of JFK whose romps with women were part of his legend at a time when men were applauded for their James Bond-like sexual allure. I remember being at a party in the 90s and making the joke about the Lewinsky scandal, “when they were handing out b*******s in the Oval Office where was I?” It wasn't much of a joke. But people did laugh. I suspect every single person at that dinner party now believes Clinton Me Too'd Monica. Or Monica Me Too'd Clinton.We women who lived through these eras remember full well what things were like, and even as far back as the 1970s when it was not uncommon for 12 and 13 year-olds to lose their virginity and brag about it. Molestation was everywhere, hidden from view or barely noticed or addressed. Adulthood was cool, childhood wasn't. Not until the 1990s. Then those of us who grew up in the careless 70s began to notice that it was all bad, hardly any of it good. No seatbelts, smoking at 10, smoking pot, watching porno, rated-R movies. The parents who protected their kids tended to be Conservatives who still went to Church on Sundays. But kids of the Left? We were raised like weeds. Some of us made it, some didn't. Then in the 90s we all watched Oprah and went to therapy. Then we figured out that everything was bad. We vowed to raise our kids better. Monica was a kid of the 70s too who grew up in the 90s to think it was cool to chase a married guy with seismic charisma. She famously flashed him her thong to show interest. And back then, wearing a thong was kind of risque. Not like now when everyone wears them. Poor Monica thought he was in love with her and that he would treat her well. She didn't realize that when she became a problem she'd be tossed in the garbage. And trust me, as someone who knows all too well what it's like to get in the way of a man who is using you as a side piece, that doesn't feel good. To her credit, Monica doesn't entirely blame “Predator Bill” for the affair. But she does tell a big lie in the casting. Beanie Feldstein is no Monica Lewinsky. They want it to look like Bill Clinton cornered a wallflower who isn't used to male attention, and while that might have been how Monica saw herself, that isn't how the world saw her then or now. She was vivacious and pinup-like in her beauty. Beanie Feldstein is pretty in a different way. There is no polite way to talk about the differences between the two women - it is a matter of taste and the fact is, Monica was his taste and Beanie Feldstein would have been easier to resist. Although I suspect that if she flashed her thong at Bill he would have still gone for it. It isn't so much an insult to Beanie Feldstein as it is a distortion by Monica to edge ever so slightly to the person she wants the public to think she was, rather than the bubble-headed girl she actually was.You see, the Me Too movement depends on one simple fact - women are never to be held accountable ever for anything they do regarding sex. It is always the man's fault because men are predators and women are innocent. Always. To tell this story from the vantage point of now requires Monica be rewritten as Beanie Feldstein because that is the only way to see the power imbalance between the two. If they had cast someone more Monica-like, the show would have been accused of trying to blame the victim. They would say the show sexualized a child, even though Monica was in her early 20s. It's gross what Bill Clinton did, what Hillary Clinton did, and how all of us defended them for so long. To me, the worst thing he did was move her out of the White House when she became a problem. That is sexual harassment because he's punishing her for their affair when in fact, he was an equal participant. Why should she have to suffer? No, he should not have been impeached for it, and yes it was yet another in an ongoing string of attacks to bring down the Clintons. And the public back then did not care because being “good” was not the ultimate goal of the left like it is now. Goodness rules everything. Monica wants to be seen as good and so this story helps her do that. Bill Clinton also wants to be seen as good but there isn't much he can do about it now except keep apologizing and hiding from the press. But still, Monica was punished more or less and Bill Clinton wasn't. I guess punished might be too strong of a word - after all, Monica has relied on this story her entire life for both her work and her image. What bothered me most was the attention and time it took to chase the Clintons and the attention Bill Clinton had to pay to his impeachment instead of focusing on the job of the American people. After all, 9/11 would happen not too long after this. We need our elected officials with their eyes on the ball. That is their job. But the opposition party wanted the Clintons out because they had held onto power for so long because his charisma put him in power for two terms. I feel that way now about the four years Trump was in office and how badly we all handled COVID in his last year. We could have and should have worked together rather than continue to rip the country apart to make sure Trump left office. The truth is that the Democrats wasted time and energy chasing Trump, energy that could have been spent a different way. The Democrats are now in the same place the Republicans were back then - doing everything they can to destroy the other side to remain in power.The Lewinsky story will always be told only one way from now on. Those of us who lived through it will soon die off, and all that will be remembered is that Bill Clinton was not JFK but something closer to Harvey Weinstein. The Academy Museum is a Beautiful LieIt is indeed beautiful, what the Academy wants to be. They, like all of Hollywood, all of science, all of the medical-industrial complex, heck even Nike and the NFL have decided that their very existence is exemplary of “White Supremacy” and that their history, their achievements, their glory and everything the public loves about them is not a source of pride but a source of shame. White shame. Or, as we used to say in the 80s, white guilt. I didn't used to know what a “self-hating Jew” was back when I first heard the term. I was in my 20s and a Woody Allen fan. I would hear that phrase a lot back then, along with “white guilt.” Now I know what a “self-hating Jew” is. I know why they would be self-hating. I guess it's similar to being called an “Uncle Tom.” It's about moving beyond your own station, which is defined by your ethnicity, to join the ranks of the WASPs. Woody Allen was called a “self-hating Jew” because his movies were, for a time, about escaping his own history and his own heritage and remaking himself as someone of that privileged, white elite on the Upper East Side. Being Jewish in Hollywood was never all that popular when it came to whom they'd cast in movies, even if it was popular in who made those movies. The reason there were so few Jews in movies was probably baked-in anti-semitism throughout the country, but it was also because the country was mostly white and mostly Christian. The market decided what got made and justified its “white wall” when it came to the Oscars. We woke up from 2020 without the free market to remind us of what actually sells and what doesn't. 2020 was like a massive ship wreck that sends all of the debris floating to the surface, with everything seen in one big picture to be judged. Just as the Titanic had lower and upper classes, how the rich survived and the poor didn't, the ship wreck tells the tale. There was no market so there was no justification and suddenly the ruling class scattered in a panic, caught in the bright light, their entire past suddenly upended and floating on the surface.It did not go well. By the end of it, the Academy implemented an inclusion mandate to “instruct” production companies and creatives to make sure they hired BIPOC and women - at a time when there is some debate over what the word “woman” even means. My friends who crow at me about being a conservative apologist on abortion always say, “wait, you're defending the side that is robbing women of rights they've fought for over decades.” I always think, but don't say, “you mean birthing people?”The Golden Globes were cancelled when Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo were SHOCKED, shocked that racism was going on here, even though the HFPA nominated a black female director before the Academy ever did. Oh, wait, the Academy never has. The British Film Academy (BAFTA) took the voting rights away from its members entirely, opting instead for a select committee to hand-pick nominees to meet the diversity and inclusion standards 2020 demanded. In the end, they picked two white actors for the leads anyway who they went on to win Oscars. And we have the Academy museum, a beautiful building with some film memorabilia that is worth seeing, and a drop dead gorgeous Hayou Miyazaki exhibit, but it is most definitely a somber reflection to ease the pain of so many good people in the Academy who do not want to be seen as dirty rotten racists. That isn't really something any good liberal in this town would want to admit, but take it from someone who knows Oscar history inside and out and has been covering it for 20 years — this is the Oscar museum that would very much catch 2020 Hollywood in a time capsule but it is not Oscar history. Every part of it is like trying to head off any potential criticism that would become clickbait for the major newspapers and Twitter. The lesson of 2020: don't become someone's sanctimonious, self-righteous think piece that goes viral. They definitely subverted 90% of their actual history and cherry-picked what diversity they could find here and there to portray a reimagined version of the last 94 years. I know about the Academy's White Wall. I have been writing about it since 2001. I wrote about it so emphatically that I lost half my readership in 2011. For a long time I was known as the only person covering the Oscars who wrote from the POV of “diversity and inclusion.” I remember when no one used the word “inclusion” at all and then suddenly just using “diversity” was wrong. I pushed for movies by black directors to be recognized, and for black actors to be recognized. I did this every year because I thought it mattered. Walking through the museum you'd never know what their history was or why activists fought so hard for inclusion in the first place. Sacheen Littlefeather is now a point of pride for the Academy when it was a point of embarrassment way back when. To date, only one black female has won in Lead, Halle Berry in 2001, but she is featured at the Academy Museum. They have devoted an entire room to Spike Lee and walking through you might think Do the Right Thing was nominated for Best Picture. It was not. He has won a single Oscar for writing BlackKklansman. You also might think that Citizen Kane, featured prominently at the museum, won Best Picture. It did not. How Green Was My Valley did but it is nowhere to be seen. They have the gorgeous backdrop for North by Northwest hung on a wall. You might think Hitchcock won an Oscar for directing. He did not. Or that he was nominated for North by Northwest. He was not. They could not even show Mount Rushmore, however, without affixing a mea culpa:Then why use it at all? Why hang the backdrop to begin with if you are ashamed of it? And if you are ashamed of it, why not put up all of the things you are ashamed of? I guess because this way they can have their cake and eat it too. They can display the cool art as long as they slap down the whites for their bad bad dirty rotten behavior of the past. Gee, sounds fun, doesn't it?What you won't see are the icons the Oscars were actually made on, maybe because their histories are too problematic? The big studios aren't even represented a little bit. The major icons who won Oscars aren't there - no Marlon Brando, or Dustin Hoffman or Meryl Streep? Where was Meryl? Did I see her there, icon that she is? I cannot recall. Steven Spielberg's Jaws was nominated for Best Picture, but not Director. He is a big donor and has quite a presence in the museum. There are bits and pieces of the empire that Hollywood once was but they have been sidelined in order to amplify the marginalized faces and voices who fought so long and hard to be seen in an industry that was driven by the market and a market that was driven by the white majority. That's the truth. But Hollywood does not want that to be the truth.That's why you're seeing so much awkward colorblind casting now. I just watched a movie that took place in the late 70s that was based on a memoir of a working-class white male who got into Yale and pined for the Westport girl who was simply out of his league. She slept with him but never really considered having a relationship with him and ends up marrying the right kind of man. This is based on a true story but they thought casting a black female in that role was “inclusive” — in fact, it throws the whole thing off because you're thinking about Yale and Westport and WASPS and the Great Gatsby and actual white supremacy and the white wall - and working-class New York who aren't exactly woke and weren't then. You can't just erase that history. That is what led to the activism now. Otherwise, there is no need for diversity and inclusion. But the point is to look good. That is what everyone in Hollywood and on the left wants more than anything. I felt a little funny walking around the museum, knowing everything I know about the Oscars. But it's very much in keeping with how I feel now, as a person from the left trying to make sense of what has become the left in 2021. I barely recognize it and they barely recognize me. The good people of the Left will love this museum. It is a monument to their new religion, after all, their utopia's screed writ large. This is who they will be going forward, and all they ever wanted to be looking backward. They are happy to have the heat of accountability taken off, even if it means sweeping everything under the carpet for a time. Maybe someday it will all be told, the good, the bad, and the ugly. But that day is not today. And that museum is not this one. Kim Kardashian is Finally Accepted It was a long hard road for Kim Kardashian. Hated for so long by a culture that just didn't know she was what it wanted. She hung on. Her family has built an empire worthy of the gilded age and is maybe the best example of America in decline. How many billions do they make in a year? Kim is vegan now, as is her sister Kortney and Kylie Jenner has announced her entire product line will be going vegan. They display their massive wealth - their many cars - their huge mansions - their luxurious vacations - their revolving door of men - their next generation ready to carry on in their high heeled footsteps. America's new aristocracy.Twitter and Reality TV might have birthed Trump, but Instagram and Reality TV birthed the Kardashians. There isn't any stopping any of them, especially since Kim is now part of the ruling class and an accepted member of the new woke elites who have gamed the system in order to indulge in their excess, guilt-free. Just signal your virtue and you'll be fine. I can't criticize Kim too much. After the 2016 election, the only thing I could do was watch Keeping up with the Kardashians. I watched the entire show, season by season because it was so empty-headed, so pointless, there would never be a single thing to trigger me in any direction. I could just lay there and stare at them under all that makeup, eating their Health Nut salads and blathering about this or that. But Kim has made it. She hosted SNL. She is now one of them. Like all of Hollywood, especially comedy, finding anything funny is not easy. They have sadly been sucked into the overly sensitive ideology of the new left where offending anyone is off the table. It's a win-win to bring on Kim, a subject often mocked by the likes of SNL. Now they can scramble for ratings somehow, some way. Their ratings were way down for their premiere so they are in desperate need of Gen-Z love. Kim's appearance boosted SNL's ratings from a 3.5 to a 3.8. They saw a similar boost when Elon Musk hosted, according to The Wrap. It's not hard to figure out why that might be. Hollywood overall is alienating people with its politics. Take out politics completely, or people whose identities are wrapped up in politics and maybe you can start to bring around the rest of the country. It's a trade-off. Success via the market or virtue without it. It's a beautiful thing, revisionist history. Gen-Z would never know, and will never know, just how hated the Kardashians once were. They'll never know why anyone would care whether there was Reality-TV or not. The Kardashians aren't doing anything major corporations haven't been doing for decades: selling beauty to women whose identities still depend on it. It's funny that in a time when gender is fluid and female sexuality is being purged from Hollywood action movies, the Kardashians wear their hyper-extended curves with such pride, caked in layers of makeup, stuffed full of fillers and implants - so female it's practically visible from outer space.How do those kids make sense of all of it? The cameras everywhere, the social media personas, the millions of likes on pictures of them, the massive birthday and Christmas displays of their lives for Instagram, the balloons, the flowers, the private jets, the makeup tutorials, the closets, the playhouses. Gobs and gobs of money and stuff. Kim can now tell her life's story with pride about all that she's accomplished in the time she's been in the spotlight. She's finally gotten back her old body from before she had kids. She's working on her law degree and freeing people from prison. The Academy, Kim, Monica have erased how others saw them and have reimagined a better story. Those stories have become legends and will one day be myths. No one ever has to know the truth. After all, isn't truth, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder? Get full access to Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone at sashastone.substack.com/subscribe

The Best Picture breakdown by Worthy hosts, Ben Smith and Jon Roberts, ventures into the mind of one of the most prolific director of Old Hollywood, John Ford. His black and white 1941 epic “How Green Was My Valley” garnered Ford his 3rd Best Director award and only Best Picture win. The film revolves around a Welsh coal mining family through the eyes of the youngest son Huw (Roddy McDowall).  The discussion on “How Green Was My Valley” centers on the film's well structured narrative, the grand scale of the film's set design and the strong performances from the ensemble cast. The film also holds the notorious distinction of beating out “Citizen Kane” for the Best Picture award at the 14th Academy Awards. Do Ben and Jon agree with the Academy's decision?

I denne episoden snakker vi om regissør John Ford, den ultimate amerikanske auteuren, hvis filmhistoriske innflytelse er så stor at det nesten ikke er til å begripe.Panelet snakker om Fords arbeidsmetoder, lunefulle personlighet og eksentriske fakter, og om hvilke temaer, sjangre og stilarter som gjorde ham så markant, men samtidig allsidig.Vi ser nærmere på Oscar-vinneren Vredens druer (som er aktuell på cinemateker rundt omkring i lander), men tar også for oss favoritter som Angiveren («The Informer», 1935), How Green Was My Valley (1941), Det siste hurra («The Last Hurrah» 1958), Vestens ryttere («Two Rode Together», 1961) og Mannen som skjøt Liberty Valance (1962).Ved mikrofonene sitter Karsten Meinich, Lars Ole Kristiansen og Erik Vågnes.God lytting!

Ted's pick this week turns a little bit contentious due not to the movie itself — we both liked it — but, unsurprisingly for an election year, because of the politics of Big Wednesday's outspoken and larger-than-life writer/director. On this episode we talk of the film's robust romanticism, Milius's accomplished screenwriting career, his love of literature and militarism, John Ford and how this movie aimed to be “How Green Was My Valley for surfing,” the questionable influence of violence and guns on film, and the role Milius's self-mythmaking led into his arguable blacklisting from studio filmmaking.

Grace and Emma discuss the film the US Government didn't want you to see, Salt of the Earth!!! They loved this antithesis to How Green Was My Valley and talk about the material conditions of the movie, its honesty and intensity around gender dynamics, and the joy found in community organizing.

To start off our season about work and labor, we watched the 1936 Charlie Chaplin film, Modern Times. By leaning into artifice and exaggeration, the movie is able to highlight the very real issues of its day (and ours). Grace notices the oppressive authority of sound, Emma notices a certain lack of shoes, and we both display an incomplete knowledge of how cocaine works. Get comfy and settle in for a piece of “communist propaganda” that yearns for the middle-class dream and that we both absolutely adored.Follow Grace on Twitter @grace_machineFollow Emma on Twitter @uofwhalesFollow the show @seasonsmoviepodPodcast art by Cecil Smith.

I discuss some of the reasons people like to argue about the Oscars, and focus in on arguments about undeserved winners. I discuss why I think movies such as How Green Was My Valley, Dances with Wolves, and Going My Way, still "deserve" their best picture wins, despite winning over arguably better movies. I also white knight for some movies that aren't quite as good but still strike me as being unfairly targeted as undeserving (like Crash and The Greatest Show on Earth). I still end up not finding too much good to say about Shakespeare in Love, though.

"How green was my valley then!" A great question for a podcast that is half color blind. In this week's episode, Cinema Cemetery explores How Green Was My Valley, a tale of loss and change in a small Welsh mining town during the late Victorian era. As Huw Morgan, played by a young Roddie McDowall looks back on his life and his family, he reflects on how a community must sometimes change to survive...and sometimes breaks under the strain.Additionally, Cinema Cemetery asks two key questions: 1) Just how green was the valley and 2) was Citizen Kane snubbed!? The first of our Was It Snubbed series, we look at both the winner and the challenger. As the years have passed and hindsight has run the course...was Citizen Kane denied the prize?!Find out this week on Cinema Cemetery!Music by Chaze HearneRankings so far:4- Lawerence of Arabia5- Gone With Wind 11-It Happened One Night25- All Quiet on the Western Front27-Rebecca30-The Mutiny57-You Can’t Take It With You60-Cimarron 65-The Great Ziegfeld 70- Wings71-Grand Hotel77-Life of Emil Zola91- Broadway Melody 92-Cavalcade

‘How Green Was My Valley’ was released in 1941 and got nominated for 10 Academy Awards - winning four of them, including Best Picture. Today is Easter Sunday and that means there could be no better time to explore the strange story of two Easter Rising veterans who ended up acting side by side in this Hollywood blockbuster. And if that wasn’t already remarkable, they were on different sides of the Rising. Gavan is joined by Donal Fallon for another episode of Hidden Histories to tell us more.

There’s still a week go to, but judging by their review of the winner for 1941, How Green Was My Valley, Suzan and David aren’t going to think much of the Academy’s choice this year.

Our intrepid duo of hosts face off against an undeniable classic, the John Ford-directed family drama How Green Was My Valley, which beat Citizen Kane for Best Picture at the 1941 Academy Awards. It's a charming nostalgic story of a family of coal miners in Wales at the end of the 19th century seen through the eyes of a young boy (pre-pubescent Roddy McDowall) who watches his beloved green valley turn black and icky because coal mining generally sucks for the environment. Of course we don't actually see the green of the valley because the picture is shot in black and white, a decision ultimately made because Adolf Hitler just had to have Poland. The film touches on the hazards of fossil fuel extraction, the environmental cost of “progress,” and the relationship between environmental problems and labor strife.   How did Wales's coal fuel the rise of the British Empire? Was being endowed with generous coal deposits Britain's fortune or its curse? Can falling through thin ice and catching hypothermia really render you a paraplegic? How do you pronounce “Angharad”? Was Walter Pidgeon a beefcake in 1940 or more like a creepy old man? How did the guy who shot this picture win an Academy Award for Best Cinematography when his competition shot Citizen Kane? How do you get Malibu to look like Wales? Why do these miners always sing in such perfect harmony, and more importantly, why won't they stop? These are the burning questions on the table in this inappropriately age-paired and unexpectedly musical episode of Green Screen.   How Green Was My Valley on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033729/   How Green Was My Valley on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/film/how-green-was-my-valley/ Next Movie: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) Website for This Episode

This week's episode focuses on the 1941 Oscars, when How Green Was My Valley beat Citizen Kane for Best Picture. Most would say that Orson Welles deserved the top prize that year—do Marisa and Matt agree with Film Twitter? But that's not all, the hosts discuss an insane social issues melodrama, side-eye some propaganda from the era, and even get the chance to discuss Bogey, Hitchcock, and Bette Davis. It's an exciting episode packed with all the analysis (and tangents) you'd expect from a year with 10 nominees.

That aside, we talk about what works and what doesn't in this one, and we basically disagree on everything. The long and the short of it is that Mike isn't into the love story, but you have to listen to find out why.We then move on to one of Ford's war propaganda films, THEY WERE EXPENDABLE.

Meanwhile, Huw's eldest sister, Angharad, pines for the new village preacher, Mr. Gruffydd.

On almost every list of the greatest American films of all time, at the top of the list, is a film from 1941 called Citizen Kane. Orson Welles' American classic continues to dazzle and impress more than 70 years later. Well, back in 1941 they felt differently. How Green Was My Valley ate Kane's lunch and forced Welles to try to be satisfied with an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. What a chump.

It's a tale of trial and tribulation for working class communities.

"How Green Was My Valley" looked at Welsh miners slowly losing their jobs. Which saga won our votes?

If you've taken a film studies course in the last couple decades, you likely came across Film Art on the required book purchases. Chances are you first learned how to investigate the structure of a film (narrative, editing, mise-en-scene, sound, etc) before learning how to recognize ideology, or apply psychoanalytic theories. Wherever one's interest lie in looking at cinema, the work by film scholar Kristin Thompson over the last four decades has provided intensive groundwork into looking at Hollywood cinema's most intuitive principles and beyond. Kristin sits down to traces her entrance into academic film studies and developing a method for understanding form as adapted from Russian theories, the history of classical structure as developed by Hollywood and its legacy both abroad in the silent era and continuing into even today's so-called "VFX-driven" movies, and her work on The Lord of the Rings franchise and its game-changing success in the new century. Finally, the two sit down to look at John Ford's How Green Was My Valley, which employs unique methods of narrative strategy and compositional staging to create a poetic "three-hankie picture" (and well deserving of its 1941 Oscar). 0:00-3:03 Opening4:21-11:36 Establishing Shots - Manhunter12:21-58:18 Deep Focus - Kristin Thompson59:27-1:02:07 Mubi Sponsorship1:03:49-1:22:27 Double Exposure - How Green Was My Valley (John Ford)1:22:31-1:24:09 Close

Maureen O'Hara, one of the great stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, passed away on October 24, 2015. Movie Addict Headquarters paid tribute to her with this special episode that aired live in March of 2014. Film critics Diana Saenger and James Colt Harrison dropped by to salute the famous Irish actress who appeared in such classic movies as The Quiet Man, Mracle on 34th Street, How Green Was My Valley, Spanish Main and McClintock. Because of her beautiful red hair, she was called the Queen of Technicolor, and her work in so many Westerns earned her a Golden Boot Award in 1991. Brought to Hollywood from Ireland by Charles Laughton in the late 1930s, Maureen achieved immediate acclaim for her fiery performances in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Jamaica Inn. She remained a popular box-office draw throughout her long acting career and played opposite a host of A-list actors including John Wayne, Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart.  It was a treat to hear classic movie experts Diana Saenger and James Colt Harrison discuss Maureen O'Hara's remarkable film career. Diana is the founder of Classic Movie Guide, and James is a film historian who writes movie commentary for a variety of outlets, including Review Express and Classic Movie Guide. Maureen O'Hara was a multi-talented actress and grand lady. She will be missed -- but her wonderful performances live on through the magic of film.
