Never before and probably never again: "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" : Best Picture, Best Director Mike Nichols, Best Actor Richard Burton, Best Actress Elizabeth Taylor, Best Supporting Actor George Segal, Best Supporting Actress Sandy Dennis.
s usual, superb song choiuce. What a year for actors, actresses, and movies. Schofield won best actor against some incredibly tough competition, while at last one more actors from The Wand Pebbles also deserved a best supporting actor nod, ( "One thousand Dollars!! " Holman, go below or I'll have you shot for a mutineer!"" Mr, Bogardus If the Sand Pebbles must die, she will die proudly." and, even , those expressions on his face when he sees Richard Attenborough jump ship to be wirh his girl friend and later, when he realizes he has lost control of his own ship. Finally, the incredible scene , at the end, when he outs Holman i in command and then, sacrifices his life, thinking that in doing so, he is saving Steve McQueen and Candice Bergen. "Holman, give me the BAR!" Next to Slattery's People. (Anybody remember that? I thought not.), Richard Crenna's greatest performance.
Brilliant choice of song. However , State Senator Slattery, Richard Crenna should have been nominated instead of Welles. He was superb as Captain Colllins. Shouting through the Bullhorn. " One Thousand dlolars Two thousand dollars! Three thousand dollars! Five thousand dollars!" And then McQueen puts Mako out of his misery,only to have the book by the book captain rebuke him, Later, , Collins is gazing at his revolver in the desk, almost ready to do the only honorable thing, only to be interrupted By Mr. Bogardus; "Captain! Its a dispatch from the Consulate! The Bolsheviks have risen in Shanghai !" And then, the good captain realizes that if can;t live like a man, he-and his crew can die like heroes one will suffice, . I could cite other highlights, but only one will suffice.. "Holman! Give me The BAR"!, evidently hoping to kill an entire Nationalist Chinese regiment single handed..
Virginia wolf should have won best pic and Actor. Sandy Dennis was the best supporting actress Drool!!!! Steve McQueen was so damn hot. Taylor was the right choice as well
I dont understand at all, why is `the Shop on Main Street´ nominated and won best foreign laungege film in 1966, and then Kaminska who was in the film being nominated for best actress in 1967 this year???? I dont know what year the Shop on Main Street came out beacuse of that. :)
