In the, for what its worth department, I was 14 when Apollo 13 made history. I remember it well. The first time I saw the movie, I knew they all survived. I was still on my feet cheering when I saw the movie. I have seen it at least 2 dozen times since then. I still jump out of my seat and cheer. My grandchildren did the same thing the first time they saw it, too.
That's what makes him a genius everybody knew in the audience those astronauts survive but it felt like it was brand new and then do the weightlessness scenes was incredible they had a built a set inside of an airplane call the vomit comet and they had to do a hundreds of times he is incredible director he was definitely robbed
Grahm to me has the best interviews he asks the right questions and he let's them think and speak freely he let's the interview flow naturally nothing feels forced
A beautiful mind was such a great movie. The supporting cast was just spectacular. The writing. Pulling it all together. I wouldn’t give you a plug nickel for the stuff being put out now.
Just hearing Ron Howard in this clip I could imagine (no pun intended) that if he ever gave up his current lifestyle he'd make an excellent American diplomat.
I love Apollo Thirteen as much as I love The Right Stuff. Movies made about the American Space program can be some of the greatest undertakings known. Getting the Governments support and contributions concerning national security information can be next to impossible. Only a brilliant director could have done what Ron Howard did and a humble and compassionate man to share the story in the way he did. No Awards ceremony could convince me otherwise. He is Brilliant!💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
The only reason l went to see Apollo 13 was because Ron Howard directed it. Leaving the theatre after l said to my date that Ron Howard is a shoe in for best director Oscar. Ron didn’t even get nominated. The motion picture academy has no credibility in my opinion.
At this time in human history, Ron Howard should go back into the space themes. It's truly incredible what people are doing/discovering in that industry albeit its superficial in terms of a story of human experience. I'd give it another go Mr. Howard.
You people have no idea what Ron Howard had to go through making Apollo 13 to do the scenes of weightlessness they had to go on the vomit comet that's an airplane that goes straight down for 20 seconds so you only have 20 seconds to film those scenes and they did it hundreds of times Ron Howard is by far the greatest director I've ever seen, everybody knows the outcome of Apollo 13 and how he directed it it felt like it was brand new he's a freaking genius,,HE WAS ROBBED,,
Really? Oscar (best director) snub for Apollo 13? How? I’ve actually been weightless, and that movie captured it. How if the ever living heck did he get passed over?
He won for a beautiful mind as payback for blowing it and not nominating him for Apollo 13! He should have been nominated for Apollo 13 and should have won!
The Oscars cannot be the standard for someone’s work. Besides, there tends to be too much known about the Academy now and how it operates. “Best that people do not know how laws and sausages are made.” - Otto von Bismarck
An oscar award is NOT necessarily an accurate judgment of a film or one’s work, look who’s voting (the same people who gave Will Smith a standing ovation) it’s subjective - remember Elisabeth Taylor won an Oscar for Butterfield 8, the worst film in her career. The Academy is filled with many jealous, backstabbing, narcissistic members, for every Ron Howard, there are 30+ Harvey Weinstein’s.
IMO Nightshift was better, funnier than Splash. Michael Keaton too. Apollo 13 should have won everything. Our family saw that movie in the theater multiple times and we replayed the VHS tape (I know) over and over.
What's up with the Japanese Manga? Seems like every time i see a video with Brian Glazer there is Manga everywhere. 😮 Kind of creepy without context of some sort.
This once again, just proves that the best person he did the best job ever that could’ve been done doesn’t get included. It was a travesty, and it took away from the respectability of the Academy.
The problem with all these studios is the old guys think they have to go woke. They have to cast against storyline. They have to follow the diversity trend. I promise this will cause their demise if it continues.
I'm sorry, but for those people outside of the industry and simply just movie-goers are not fans of producers of movies and simply do not care about that. Actors, yes, directors, yes, but producers, most common people do not know what a producers does. We do not care about Brian Glazer.
Oh heavens... someone who is super wealthy and famous for pretending to be other people and telling stories didn't win an award given by other people who are wealthy and famous for the same insignificant activity. It's a tragedy. It's horrible. How can they go on living. All the people commenting here struggling to live their lives yet they give even the smallest crap about celebrities not getting an award? What in the world are you concerned about?
