>> Shannon: Hi, I'm Mamie.
Welcome to "Local Color."
We're sitting here talking about
one of my favorite topics, the
movies.
Got Chris and John Beifuss here.
You know what time it is-Oscars!
>> Beifuss: Oscar time! Yee-haw!
>> Shannon: So, I mean, what is
your life like around Oscar
time?
>> Beifuss: Just the same as it
always is except I have to watch
a program that lasts about four
hours on a certain Sunday night.
But you know, I got my Oscar
contest in the Commercial
Appeal-Beat Beifuss.
You can win those 20 tickets.
So, I just hope that people will
enter that because movie tickets
ain't cheap now.
So, you know, can't hurt to have
some free ones.
>> Shannon: We're going to have
the link to that on our website
at WKNO-dot-org-slash-localcolor
where they can go to your
website and hopefully beat
Beifuss.
I've entered.
My husband's entered.
My daughters entered.
She's gotten all of her friends
to enter.
>> Davis: It's easy to do, too.
You just click the boxes or
circles rather and you're done.
>> Shannon: So, what's the big
hullabaloo this year.
You know, every year there's
something.
What's the big, big story for
the Oscars this year?
>> Beifuss: Well, I guess a
story would be A-they actually
seems sort of unpredictable this
year, who's going to win.
And B-Everyone seems upset that
Ben Affleck was snubbed, if
that's a word, from a best
director nomination for Argo.
Well, you know, it is a vote.
No one gets together and decides
this.
It is a vote of the members of
the directors' division of the
academy.
So, it just works out that way.
But since-If Argo wins best
picture, which it seems to be
the frontrunner to do so now, it
will be only, I think, the
fourth time in history that a
movie won best picture that the
director wasn't also nominated.
The last time being "Driving
Miss Daisy" and the first time
was the very first move to win
the best picture Oscar, "Wings"
in 1927.
So, it's pretty rare.
It's very rare that that could
happen.
>> Shannon: So, the only people
that vote on he best director
are directors that have won.
>> Beifuss: Well, the
nominations are made by people
in the categories.
But then, everybody gets to vote
on who wins the Oscar.
>> Shannon: And you gave me a
number about how many directors
there are.
There are like 300-something.
That's it.
>> Beifuss: It's a small amount.
I think it might be even smaller
than that.
But it's a very small amount.
The members of the academy are-
the vast majority of them are
actors.
There's something like 5000
members and about 1100 of them
are actors.
And it's also interesting.
People talk about it.
It really is an industry.
90 percent of them or more
actually do live in Los Angeles,
you know.
So, that really makes it an
industry town.
And in an industry event, that's
somehow the whole world is
interested in.
>> Shannon: And you told me that
there are nine pictures that
are, have been nominated for-
best picture.
And I don't know anything about
"Amour."
>> Beifuss: Well, "Amour" is
opening tomorrow, Friday in
Memphis, the 15th.
And it's the last of the nine to
reach Memphis.
And surprisingly, once it gets
here, all the best picture
nominees will still be in
theatres except for "Beast of
the Southern Wild" which is
already out on DVD and Blu-ray
and everything.
So, you can go see them all if
you want.
>> Shannon: I've heard great
things about "Beast of the
Southern Wild."
>> Beifuss: I like it a lot.
And like we were talking earlier
in the show, there's a sort of a
thread of films that have to do
with racial issues and events
going through quite a few of the
movies this year like "Lincoln,"
"Beasts of the Southern Wild,"
and "Django Unchained."
>> Davis: There are like lots of
thematic similarities, I think,
between a lot of the different
films because, yeah, like you
said, there's the racial aspects
with those three films.
Also, there's the whole, you
know flood, storm, water-world
aspect that you get with "Beast
of the Southern Wild" and with
"Life of Pi."
>> Beifuss: And I think it is
sort of interesting that with
this Forest Park, Confederate
Park naming re-issue that if you
want to go to see a movie in
Memphis where you will see a
truly diverse crowd go to see
"Django Unchained."
Everyone seems to really love
that movie.
Some people, like Spike Lee, has
commented that it's a, you know,
it degrades or treats slavery as
a joke.
But in fact, all different types
of audiences seem to take-seem
to almost like that and sort of
like to see this horrific
national event just sort of
belittled and made fun of.
Like, in something wicked this
way comes where they laugh at
the evil and it dissipates.
>> Davis: And you know, the
other side of that is you hear
people complaining because he
has those klansmen figures.
They're not really klansmen but
they're, you know, these hooded
night-riders.
And people are complaining
because, you know, the ***
doesn't exist until after the
Civil War.
Well, Tarantino's the man who,
you know, who killed Hitler.
So, you know, it doesn't matter
if he's playing with historical
events.
He's creating cinematic
fantasies.
I mean, that's what he always
does and that's his shtick.
You don't go to see a Tarantino
movie to see a sweeping
historical remake.
>> Shannon: And let's get back
to the real basics.
Isn't that what a movie is all
about?
>> Davis: Oh yeah, yeah.
I love that you can give him
$100 million and he can do this
terrific homage to cheapies made
in the '60s and '70s.
>> Beifuss: I know the red-
hooded Klans-types are actually
in the original "Django," the
spaghetti western.
They're pulled.
That movie, the original
"Django" from 1966 with Franco
Nero, was banned in a lot of
countries for being too violent.
Now, it doesn't seem violent at
all.
Although, someone's ear is
sliced off and he is made to eat
it.
But anyway, which Tarantino also
did in "Reservoir Dogs."
But that original "Django" is
also all about race.
It's amazing if you watch it,
except it had to do with the
border between Mexico and
America.
So, there's really a lot more
from the original "Django" put
in "Django Unchained" than most
people realize.
>> Davis: They couldn't be more
different.
But I think that and "Lincoln"
are really complementary films
in a lot of ways.
>> Shannon: Well, and you were
bringing up the point that so
many of them have so many
similarities.
I mean, like "Argo" is a real
account of a real thing that
happened and so is "Zero Dark
Thirty."
>> Davis: You couldn't imagine
two things more different than
the musical version of "Les
Miserables" and "Zero Dark
Thirty" which is almost a
documentary-style film about the
manhunt for Bin Laden.
But there are both like these
grand, you know, over a period
of years manhunt epics.
>> Shannon: Yeah, that's true.
>> Beifuss: And then in "Les
Miserables" and "Zero Dark
Thirty" and "Lincoln" are
historical.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild"
has a little bit of a sort of
historical element of the
hurricane in there.
>> Davis: Yeah, because of it's
based around hurricane Katrina.
>> Shannon: And then we've got
"Silver Linings Playbook."
>> Beifuss: Yeah, that's sort of
the odd film out in that group.
But it's really, I think, it's
really terrific.
It's one of the few films where
all four actors, the lead
actors, we're nominated in the
four categories-best actress,
best actress, supporting actress
and supporting actor.
Robert De Niro, who I think has
not had a good movie in many
years, is hilarious in this
movie.
He's great.
Jacki Weaver, who plays his
wife, is really good.
And there's not too many movies
made nowadays that you could
really call a screwball comedy
like in the tradition of the
1930's.
>> Davis: The good Preston
Sturges' films.
Every now and then, the Coens
try and pay a little homage.
>> Beifuss: Yeah, but I think
this one is because, you know, a
synonym for screwball is it's
basically a funny word for
insane.
And the people in "Silver
Linings Playbook" have definite
mental problems.
So, it's sort of literally a
screwball comedy.
>> Shannon: But I mean, from
everyone that I've heard of
that's seen it, it's got heart,
too.
>> Beifuss: It does.
>> Shannon: You know, so,
there's that.
>> Beifuss: It makes you.
Unlike some of these other
nominated movies, you do feel
good when you see "Silver
Linings Playbook."
>> Davis: "Amour" is also
different than the rest of them,
too.
It's incredibly a claustrophobic
film that except for, I guess
except for the opening scene, it
takes place in like a concert
hall.
It all happens inside a house.
You seldom see a film that's not
opened up where you don't have
multiple locations.
This is a couple facing the end
of their lives.
>> Beifuss: Yeah, it's a-I guess
you could call it a dark love
story where for those people who
get married, stay together 'til
death do you part, literally,
that's what basically what this
chronicles.
And speaking of movies that
bookend each other, Emmanuelle
Riva, who's nominated for best
actress from this movie, is the
oldest ever nominee.
She's 85 while Quvenzhane-I
think that's how you say her
name-Wallis from "Beasts of the
Southern Wild" is nine.
So, you have the oldest and
youngest actresses for best
actress.
>> Shannon: That's pretty cool.
And I mean, the movies that are-
I actually saw "The Impossible."
We went to go.
Ashley and I went to go see
"Silver Linings Playbook" and it
sold out.
So, we went and saw "The
Impossible."
Oh my gosh! Have you seen it,
Chris?
>> Davis: I have not.
>> Shannon: What'd you think
about it?
>> Beifuss: You know, I'm not
totally sold on "The Impossible"
but I will say that Naomo Watts
is terrific.
She deserves a best actress
nomination.
It's a really physically rough
role.
>> Shannon: It was draining.
>> Beifuss: And speaking of
disasters and floods, that's
about the tsunami that hit-
slammed in to Asia a few years
ago.
And it focuses on one specific
family.
>> Shannon: But it's a real
story!
>> Beifuss: It's a true story.
To me, call me a low brow, but
the best parts of that movie, to
me, were the disaster parts when
the tidal wave was slamming in
to the hotel, when the people
were being swept away trying to
survive.
I liked that a lot.
I lost a little bit of interest
in it once you got in to the
more so operatic element of them
trying to find each other.
>> Shannon: That went on a
little bit too long for me.
I was just a little too..
>> Beifuss: I just had the
feeling that millions of people,
millions of Asians lost their
lives or their homes forever.
But this movie was about some
visiting Europeans who we are
shown right away at the start of
the movie that they're all
alive.
All they have to do is get
reunited.
And I was sort of like this is
an experience that people have
when they go to Bonnaroo, you
know.
Except that Bonnaroo, when you
throw up, you don't throw up a
three foot seaweed.
But I still like the movie, you
know.
>> Shannon: Well, I wondered
what you thought about it.
Now, for the best actor, I don't
know anything about the movie
that Joaquin Phoenix was
nominated for.
What's that?
>> Davis: Based on Scientology.
>> Shannon: Maybe that's it.
>> Beifuss: That was a terrific
movie, I thought.
It's enigmatic, for sure.
Wouldn't you say?
>> Davis: I have not had a
chance to see "The Master."
And I hate it because that was
on my list of things I really
wanted to see.
I have to pick and choose with
the twins.
>> Beifuss: Yeah, I don't think
the twins would like "The
Master."
>> Davis: You can talk all about
the animated fatures.
>> Beifuss: Yeah, I've seen
them, too.
But yeah, Joaquin Phoenix,
honestly, he's astonishing in
it.
He looks like he was curvature
of the spine.
He drinks this homemade that you
sort of think maybe explains why
his physicality is so weird.
But I thought he was.
When I saw "The Master," It
thought, "This guy is going to
get the academy award for best
actor."
But then "Lincoln" came out and
I was like, "Well, okay."
And now it seems pretty obvious
that Daniel Day-Lewis is going
to win.
And I have no problem with that.
>> Shannon: He is just such a
unique actor that totally
absorbs himself into whatever it
is.
I couldn't imagine.
>> Davis: I have-yeah.
I think I first saw him in "My
Beautiful Laundrette" and I
thought this guy is something.
And then, what was?
Oh, "Room with a View" where he
played the role of Cecil.
And you immediately realized
this actor is a chameleon.
And he's proven to be that again
and again.
>> Beifuss: Well in "Lincoln," I
think one reason people are
really responding to "Lincoln"
is because it presents a sort of
a retroactive fantasy wishful
film of how people wish the
political arena would act now
because it's all about
compromise.
I mean, what could be harder
than the 13th amendment.
>> Shannon: How refreshing.
>> Beifuss: Yeah, somehow they
all get together and a divide
then is worse than a divide now
between liberals and
conservatives.
Yet, they got it done and it
seems like we keep hitting road
blocks.
>> Shannon: The 85th Academy
Awards are coming up February
24, Sunday night.
So, we're going to have to have
a viewing party.
I think that would be fun.
Do you want to?
>> Beifuss: Yeah, okay.
>> Shannon: When we come back,
Ashley will be talking with
Keaton Frick about A Red Carpet
Oscar Event.
Maybe we could go to that!
[instrumental music]
♪♪♪
>> Dacus: I'm really glad that
you could join us today.
This is exciting.
The guys just got through
talking about all of the Oscar
movie nominations.
And we've got just the event for
people to go to celebrate the
Oscars.
So, this is this event-The Oscar
Night Experience is to benefit
the Ronald McDonald House
charity of Memphis.
But this is special because this
is one of the only sanctioned
events.
Is that right?
>> Frick: Yeah, yeah.
We are one of 50 organizations
in the country who have this
partnership with the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences.
So, no one else in Memphis or
the mid-south will be throwing
an event on Oscar night-just us.
>> Dacus: That's awesome!
So, and part of what makes this
really cool is that the event
programs-these are the same ones
that are in the chairs of the
celebrities who are at the
actual event.
>> Frick: Absolutely, everything
that they receive, all the
stars-everything that they get
at their table at the Oscars, we
will have at our event.
You will have the official
programs with everything Oscar-
related, all the movies,
everything that's up, all the
pictures.
We've got the posters.
We've got signed posters from
the host, form the director.
So, anything that they get, we
get.
>> Dacus: That's really cool.
So, I got to go to this event
last year.
It's really fun.
It was my first time to go.
This year, y'all have changed
locations.
This is at the-I was going to
say the wrong one.
This is at The Columns-right?
>> Frick: Yes, The Columns at
One Commerce Square.
It's Downtown.
It's fairly new.
They just opened it for events
but it's on Main street and
Monroe.
So, we're right there at One
Commerce Square Downtown.
>> Dacus: And nobody has to
worry about wonky parking.
There's free valet.
>> Frick: There is complementary
valet and it's in a covered
garage.
So, your car will be safe and
secure.
>> Dacus: Awesome!
So, once people get there, what
can they look forward to?
>> Frick: Okay, yeah, you'll
walk in the door.
We actually have a cocktail
hour.
So, we have a pre-Oscar
celebration.
There, you'll have drinks and
horderves.
You'll get to look at some
awesome live auction items, get
your picture taken.
There's open bar.
And then from there, we open up
the doors and you can go in to
the ballroom.
We've got food from 16 local
restaurants in Memphis who will
be providing food.
We'll have a live auction, a
silent auction.
Gary Goin Group is going to be
our band, our entertainment.
>> Dacus: And they are really,
really fun.
>> Frick: Yeah, they're awesome
if you've ever seen them.
They've been at the Peabody
Rooftop Party before.
So, they're an awesome band.
A lot of cover, dancing, things
like that.
>> Dacus: Very nice.
So now, on top of the live
auction items, there are some
silent auction items.
And you've got some exciting
stuff to pick from-right?
>> Frick: You do.
Yeah, we've got tons of things.
We've got baskets.
So, if you're in to hunting,
we've got a hunting basket.
We've got a running basket.
Aside form the basket portion of
it, we've got vacation packages.
We've got trips to the beach,
trips to Jamaica.
We've got experience packages,
going to the Final Four, going
to the World Series, things like
that.
So, there's a big variety and of
all price ranges.
You know, you can get something
for 50 bucks or you can get
something for 500 bucks.
>> Dacus: That's awesome.
Now, one of the things I do
remember, you were talking about
the food vendors earlier.
That was my favorite part of the
event last year.
There's all kinds of great food.
And there were some people there
with specialty cocktails.
>> Frick: Yes, we will.
We'll have, like I said, 16
vendors.
Texas De Brazil will be there.
Bari, Amerigo, Erling Jensen.
And everyone brings something
small, a small sample plate
featured on their menu.
So, you can taste from
restaurants all over Memphis.
>> Dacus: Yeah, that's great.
And there's going to be a
viewing room, too.
So, the whole reason that you're
there is to see the Oscars.
So, there will be a viewing room
so people can kind of catch up
with the awards as those are
happening.
>> Frick: There will.
There will be screens all over
the ballroom.
However, if you are an avid
award show watcher, if you go
downstairs, there's a beautiful
auditorium with stadium-style
seating.
And you can watch the Oscars in
peace and quiet.
So, you can see who will win
best actress or best actor.
>. Dacus: And this is a
wonderful event.
And it all goes to benefit the
good work being done with the
Ronald McDonald house charities.
That's fantastic.
Than you so much for being here
with us today.
>> Frick: Thanks for having me.
>> Dacus: Coming up next, Mamie
is here with her guest from the
Cedar Grove Opry House.

♪♪♪
>> Shannon: I am so glad you're
here with me and you know I
really mean it when I say it.
>> Roby: I'm glad to be here
myself.
>> Shannon: This is Mike Roby.
And you are opening Cedar Grove
Opry House.
Tell me how it started.
>> Roby: Cedar grove Opry House-
I was on my way to a funeral in
Huntingdon, Tennessee.
What a good story to start.
On my way to a funeral, I'm
going on highway 70 off exit 87
and I had been looking for a
church to open a music hall,
like The Lucy Opry here in
Memphis.
I grew up going there and the
Bluegrass Shack.
Played in a bluegrass band my
whole life.
I drove past a for sale sign in
the yard.
I'm like, "Bam!"
>> Shannon: So, how long before
you saw it did you get it?
>> Roby: I went and looked at it
that day.
I called the realtor.
"Give me the code to the lock
here."
She's like, "I don't know you."
"Give me the code, lady!"
>> Shannon: Just say, "It's me!
It's Mike!"
>> Roby: It's Mike!
And she knew that.
And so, I went in and looked at
it.
And said, "This is perfect."
And I actually bought it from
the Memphis Presbytery.
It was built in 1940.
Beautiful church, routine-shape
looking church.
>> Shannon: It's adorable.
I just can't imagine not having
it for an Opry house.
And it's in Cedar Grove,
Tennessee.
>> Roby: That's right.
>> Shannon: Ergo, Cedar Grove
Opry House.
That's so original.
>> Roby: It is, thank you.
Here's the reason.
It's got a big cast iron out
front that says Cedar Grove
I used a sledge hammer and
knocked off Presbyterian.
And they wanted 300 bucks to
change the sign.
>> Shannon: What did the
Presbyterians think about that?
They didn't care because they
sold you the place.
It's yours now.
>> Roby: The sign came with it.
>> Shannon: Okay so, we're
opening March the 2nd.
>> Roby: 7:00 is the opening.
7:00 to 9:00-ish.
>> Shannon: Whenever we feel
like it.
And so, for the first night,
it's going to be the Morgan
Briar Bluegrass Band.
And who else is going to be
there?
>> Roby: That night? Hopefully
you will be there and half of
Memphis.
All of my band members-I play in
the Morgan Briar Bluegrass Band.
>> Shannon: You're the one that
they keep in the back though,
>> Roby: They keep me in the
back.
I play banjo.
And the other musicians all live
here in Memphis.
So, they're coming with all of
their friends.
>> Shannon: And they're telling
two friends and we're telling
two friends.
>> Roby: And so on.
And our bassist, Jeremy Upton,
plays for the Memphis Symphony.
So, he's bringing his long
hairs.
And the rest of the guys-Bo
Weaver, he's an engineer here.
And Candice Goff is our
wonderful singer.
She's got a voice like Norah
Jones and Allison Krauss.
>> Shannon: She really is good.
You know, I got to see her at
Goat Days.
>> Roby: Oh, that's right.
We enjoy those.
One of our favorite gigs.
>> Shannon: It was one of mine,
too!
>> Roby: And that's where my
wife met you and she said, "I
know why you love her so much."
>> Shannon: Because I'm precious
>> Roby: Exactly.
in women.
>> Roby: And she recognized
greatness.
>> Shannon: Listen, so, you're
going to be opened on the first
Saturday of the month for right
now.
But hopefully, we're going to
start more regular weekends.
>> Roby: That's right.
We're going to shoot for just a
regular first Saturday a month
and having Memphis and Nashville
talent and whoever will pull off
of exit 87 and perform.
Our player, Steve Patterson, has
been booking.
>> Shannon: He's at Casey Jones.
>> Roby: Used to be Casey Jones
and booking people for them.
So, he's got lots of people that
we can-the people that we like.
He said we can book those guys
and have them come out.
>> Shannon: I'm so excited.
>> Roby: I'm looking forward to
our band playing the first time
but after that, I can't wait to
walk around and meet everybody.
We've got a coffee shop and
hamburgers and hotdogs and
barbecue since I'm from Memphis.
>> Shannon: Snap, I'm all over.
Well, I am.
I've got to work the concession
stand, right?
>> Roby: Absolutely.
>> Shannon: Put on my little
paper hat.
>> Roby: My son, Lance, is
actually doing that.
I'm like, "Son, I want you to
wear a white shirt, bow tie and
a paper hat."
And he's like, "Okay."
>> Shannon: Well, because he's a
good kid.
>> Roby: He is.
My daughter would have argued
and fussed.
>> Shannon: Yeah, yeah.
>> Roby: She is.
She will be there, as well.
My daughter will be performing.
>> Shannon: Oh, good.
>> Roby: She's going to be
singing a couple of Allison
Krauss songs.
>> Shannon: Now, you know I
haven't seen your daughter since
she was a wee baby.
>> Roby: I know.
She's like six foot tall.
>> Shannon: Where'd she get
that?
>> Roby: I don't know.
>> Shannon: Milk man.
>> Roby: That's right.
>> Shannon: Okay so, listen.
It's going to be March the 2nd.
The doors are at 7:00.
And we're going to go to it
whenever we feel like it.
And how far off of 40 is it?
>> Roby: If you take exit 87 to
Huntingdon, it's 16.5 miles.
>> Shannon: So, like 15 minutes.
From Memphis, it will literally
take you about an hour and 10
minutes to get there.
And I'd love for just a big old
crowd from Memphis to come out.
It's just fun.
And we'll stick around
intermission and then
afterwards, too, hanging out.
It's in the middle of no where.
>> Shannon: Hey, there's nothing
wrong.
Some of the best things have
happened in the middle of no
where.
>> Roby: I really don't think
this would work in town.
>> Shannon: No, I don't think it
would either.
>> Roby: It's the mystique of
being just outside of town.
And Jackson is a wonderful town.
And I miss Memphis terribly.
>> Shannon: Well but you know, I
went to college in Jackson.
>> Roby: Me, too.
And I always tell people,
Jackson is deceptively small.
>> Shannon: Well, everybody
knows everybody and everybody
knows everybody's business.
And there's nothing wrong with
that.
You going to come back and see
me, Mike?
>> Roby: I will.
>> Shannon: Thank you so much.
We'll be right back.
Next Valentine's Day.
We'll be right back for a wrap-
up and a great event called
Jazz-A-Fire.

>> Dacus: I think so, too.
>. Shannon: So Chris, Oscars?
We going to go to The Columns?
Are we going to get dressed up
in black tie and tennis shoes
and go hit The Columns?
Maybe do some ballroom dancing?
I think you should.
>> Dacus: I think we should.
>> Shannon: I think we should
get John Beifuss to go, too.
>> Dacus: Yeah!
>> Davis: I don't know if you
can get him in a tie.
>> Shannon: hey, have you guys
heard about Jazz-A-Fire?
Not Pacifier, Jazz-A-Fire.
Tell me about it-which Sunday?
>> Dacus: It's the last Sunday.
>> Shannon: The last Sunday of
every month at the firehouse.
>> Davis: And that's where the
fire comes from.
>> Shannon: That's where the
fire-
Jazz-A-Fire.
>> Davis: Got it.
>> Dacus: And this is just a
couple of hours.
It's like late in the afternoon.
Right, but then there's the
second hour is BYOI-Bring your
own instrument so you can jump
in and jam.
>> Davis: It turns in to a jam.
>> Shannon: Oh, I like that.
So 3:00 to 5:00 is scheduled and
then from 5:00 to whatever, it's
freefall jazz.
Well, I just found out about it
and I'm excited about it and I
want to go.
>> Dacus: Me, too.
Let's do this.
>> Shannon: I'm ready.
>> Dacus: Okay!
>> Shannon: So, what are you
going to wear?
>> Dacus: To the Oscars or to
Jazz-A-Fire?
>> Shannon: Yes.
>> Dacus: I've already bought a
red frock.
So, I've got-
>> Davis: For the Oscars or the
jazz event?
>> Shannon: For the Oscars!
>> Dacus: I could do both.
What, with the fire theme.
I could go red.
I could repurpose this dress.
>> Davis: I intend to wear
pajamas.
>> Shannon: You wear pajamas to
everything-pajamas and cowboy
boots with tails.
I've just never seen anyone that
pulls it off like you do though,
And I'm going to wear a hula
skirt with a top.
Thank you guys for coming.
Come back and see us.
And you guys, go out and enjoy
your local color and the Oscars.
