Wow, usually my Oscar memory doesn’t fail me so badly. I guess I’m just remembering the host of nominations. Yes, my face is red.
I still think my point is valid, albeit to a lesser degree, that Walker’s celebrity was exponentially increased by the film. Oscar wins or not, Spielberg was arguably the biggest director on the planet at the time, and that meant significant box office.
Oh the film was very popular. I doubt she spouted any anti-semitic vitriol with him at the time. It’s like blaming Roger Ebert for convincing Oprah to syndicate her talk show.
