My Favorite Oscar Nomination of 2013: John Gatins

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Danny King

Warning: This piece is all about dissecting Flight in and out, so if you haven’t seen the film, go and do that before reading. You’ll thank me later (or not, since it’s a rather divisive film). If you follow this … Continue reading →

Golden Globes 2011: Recap
