[bit.listserv.cinema-l] Driving Miss Daisy

AH491D@PANAM.BITNET (Anne Harwell/Technology Resources Ops. Mgr.) (02/13/90)

Saw Driving Miss Daisy yesterday. A really beautiful movie, very touching. It
would water the eyes of a dead man. I haven't seen any reactions to this movie
yet on the list, so here's a question: how many people think Morgan Freeman
deserves an Oscar for his performance? I do, and I thought Tom Cruise was a
shoo-in for the award.

Morgan Freeman deserves an Oscar for "Driving Miss Daisy"!  But what about Dan
Akroyd (I know I misspelled it)?  I think he was great too, but I'm pondering
on Best Supporting Actor.  There may have been better supportings in other
films.

     Speaking of the Oscars, aren't the nominations suppose to be announced
    today.  If anybody has heard them can you post the nominations.  An
    actor friend of mine has these nominations for best picture,


                    Born On The 4th Of July
		    Driving Miss Daisy
                    War Of The Roses
                    My Left Foot
                    When Harry Met Sally
				or
				Field Of Dreams

     What's really strange is that he thinks that Meryl Streep will be
    nominated Best Actress for She Devil.  I'm not in the acting community
    and haven't seen the movie but my friend seems to think she'll be
    nominated for this.   Any opinions?
