'Talented individuals who have made an incredible impact on the world of entertainment'. Not the HFPA, but the recipients of their annual Cecil B. DeMille award. This coming year, that'll be writer-director-actor Woody Allen. There's no doubt, despite all his shortcomings (as a filmmaker, not as a human being, that's irrelevant), that the above description applies to Mr. Konigsberg. Since 2000, the HFPA have been bestowing this honour on Hollywood legends, including filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese. Last year's award went to Jodie Foster. Will Woody be able to top her acceptance speech? Will he even turn up?
Will the movie-machine even turn up is the real question, right? Having not turned for all of those 5 million Oscars wins and nominations, he couldn't care less for HFPA imo. Incomprehensible the day he quits film making.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see what he'd have to say if he did turn up. But good on him if he doesn't. It's the Golden Globes lol.
