These were:
Looking for Mr. Goodbar - Richard Brooks, 1977
Deconstructing Harry - Woody Allen, 1997
Crimes and Misdemeanors - Woody Allen, 1989
The Purple Rose of Cairo - Woody Allen, 1985
Women in Love - Ken Russell, 1969
A Touch of Class - Melvin Frank, 1973
Bullets over Broadway - Woody Allen, 1994
Mighty Aphrodite - Woody Allen, 1995
Julia - Erick Zonca, 2008
Junebug - Phil Morrison, 2005
Sunday Bloody Sunday - John Schlesinger, 1971
And like the way they do in these film festivals, and on Filmspotting, after they've finish a marathon, they give out imaginary awards.
So after much consideration with me, myself and I, in my one-man jury, I'd like to present my fake awards for:
- Best Supporting Actor to Martin Landau for Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Honourable Mention: Jeff Daniels for The Purple Rose of Cairo. - Best Supporting Actress (Ex-aequo) to Mira Sorvino for Mighty Aphrodite and Amy Adams for Junebug.
Honourable Mentions: Dianne Wiest for her scene-stealing cameo in The Purple Rose of Cairo and Jennifer Tilly for Bullets over Broadway. - Best Actor to Peter Finch for Sunday Bloody Sunday.
Honourable Mentions: Alan Bates for Women in Love and, of course, Woody Allen for Deconstructing Harry, Crimes and Misdemeanors and Mighty Aphrodite. - Best Actress (Ex-aequo) to Diane Keaton for Looking for Mr. Goodbar and Tilda Swinton for Julia.
Honourable Mention: Glenda Jackson for her award-winning performances in Women in Love, Sunday Bloody Sunday and A Touch of Class. - Best Screenplay to Woody Allen for Deconstructing Harry.
- Best Director to Phil Morrison for Junebug.
- Grand Prix/Jury Prize/Runner Up to Erick Zonca for Julia.
- Gui d'Or/Golden Mistletoe/Best Picture to Woody Allen for The Purple Rose of Cairo.
That indeed was a fun exercise, and soon I shall write a discursive report on all that I learnt from the marathon experience.
