Questions Arise Over Nominations For Oscar Awards
AP writer Bob Thomas surveys this year’s Academy nominations noting omissions and questions. He asks why Doctor Dolittle lacked directing and acting nods, if Katharine Hepburn’s Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner performance was truly superb, and why Far from the Madding Crowd was overlooked beyond original score. He questions writing, editing, and photography categories, voting trends, and whether newcomers or American bias influenced results.
