Paddy had won the year before for NETWORK and previously for MARTY and also wrote the Debbie Reynolds Bette Davis Ernest Borgnine play THE CATERED AFFAIR and also THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY.
Vanessa Redgrave had won Best Supporting Actress for the fictitious part of "Julia" in Fred Zinnemann's adaptation of Lillian Hellman's short story.
See video here of Redgrave's speech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAcOsK9gRLk&list=PLJ8RjvesnvDMp7xxPWLxJpWNxhyeSTriD&index=2
Oddly, it was one of Meryl Streep's first onscreen roles in the small part of "Ann Marie" in the same film Redgrave won for.
(I love this film, btw, and only later found out that weirdo pre and post-1956 commie Lilian Hellman made up the whole character of Julia in that story. She waited until everyone who could call her on the lie had died.)
Weaponized media? “Click”....the sound of the channel changer.
No longer listen to or read the enemies of the American People.
BTW, managed to avoid looking at the Oscars at all. Supercilious Libtards.
Remember when Marlon Brando didn’t show at the ceremony, and Elizabeth Warren stepped in to take it for him?
“Network” is even more relevant today than it was when it came out.
Vanessa Redgrave was immersed into radical political activism back then, so different than her sister Lynn Redgrave (Georgie Girl). Vanessa was the Jane Fonda of Great Britain back then. Now, she still acts, but as is to be expected, one is less in demand at her age 80. Vanessa was tall and elegant during her younger years, but took on a somewhat haggard appearance over time. I suspect her politics has not changed at all.
