☆ These Oscar Snubs Still Rile Up Readers
  + stars: | 2024-03-09 | by ( Stephanie Goodman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When I asked readers, ahead of the Academy Awards on Sunday, if they were still mad about an Oscar snub, boy, did I get an earful. Technically a snub involves a film or an artist (or a song or any other possible contender) that was overlooked altogether at the awards. But a nominee losing to an unworthy rival was also fair game, and readers took both slights to heart. Here are the lightly edited responses:‘Saving Private Ryan’Steven Spielberg’s World War II drama lost best picture to the period romance “Shakespeare in Love” in 1999. Harvey Weinstein campaigned to get that Oscar.

☆ ‘Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret’ Review: A Candid Kids’ Classic Comes to the Screen

Can people under 40 even conceive of an American culture that wasn’t obsessively focused on youth? In the early ’70s, when Judy Blume ’s heartfelt coming-of-age novel “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” hit shelves, stories for youngsters based in everyday realism were rare. A sixth-grader, Ms. Blume’s diffident, self-conscious heroine anxiously asks God about her many worries, which include not yet having developed breasts nor experienced her first period.

Rachel McAdams and Benny Safdie portray Margaret’s youthful parents, Barbara and Herb. Kathy Bates is Margaret’s paternal grandmother, Sylvia, of the aforementioned blurt.
