Jane Wyman was known for her husky speaking
voice, so it is ironic that her one and
only Academy Award win was for a performance where she didn't speak a word. In fact, when accepting the Oscar for her role as the deaf mute Belinda McDonald in Johnny Belinda , her speech was short and sweet: "I won this award by keeping my mouth shut and I think I'll do it again." Nominated for a total of ...

On the next brand new Smallville : the
return of Justin Hartley 's Green Arrow and the
debut of Black Canary (played by Alaina Huffman). The comic geek in me remembers her as the blonde bombshell in fishnets with the killer pipes who has been Arrow's main squeeze for years now. Word has it that the Canary will clash with Lois Lane, who had a fling with the Arrow last season. Maybe blondes ...

The Great Debaters ' Denzel Washington nabbed his
15th (!) NAACP Image Award , proving once and
for all that there is such a thing as an embarrassment of riches. The Civil Rights drama swept the field, also winning the group's Best Picture award and two more acting trophies for co-stars Jurnee Smollett and Denzel Whitaker (yes, he was named after his director; maybe the Image Awards should ...

Although it only received one Academy Award nomination
(for Film Editing), this wartime actioner has stood the
test of time to become the ultimate "escape from prison" movie. Who could forget, for example, Steve McQueen's daring motorcycle getaway? And for us connoisseurs of the "celluloid closet", there is the added bonus of the striking bond between the two prisoners played by Charles ...

Spencer Tracy has the distinction of being the
first actor to win two Academy Awards in a
row, the first for his unlikely yet convincing performance as a Portuguese fisherman in Captains Courageous . The following year, he won again portraying another kindly protector of youth, as the real-life Father Flanagan in Boys Town . As a publicity stunt, MGM stated that Tracy would donate his ...

High on the list of "when Oscar gets
it wrong" is the almost total snub of this
all-time classic musical comedy. Perhaps the Academy was over honoring Gene Kelly , whose (far inferior) An American in Paris swept the year before. Or maybe they were just overall confused in 1952; it was, after all, the year High Noon and The Quiet Man lost to ... The Greatest Show on Earth , generally regarded ...

Top of the morning to you, and a
happy Saint Patrick's Day to all! And no, I'm
not going to recommend The Quiet Man . Instead, we're going to the more fanciful Emerald Isle for Darby O'Gill and the Little People , an often overlooked Disney gem featuring magical leprechauns, vengeful banshees and clever visual effects, still effective in this age of hobbits and boy wizards. You will be ...

"Animation isn't the illusion of life -- it
is life!" -- Chuck Jones As Brad Bird (this
year's Academy Award winner for Best Animated Feature) has been known to say, animation is not a genre, but a medium. And he's right. Nevertheless, it is the ...

Kerry Butler , one of our favorite Broadway
babes ( Hairspray , Xanadu ), is releasing her
very first solo album May 13. Titled Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust, the new disc will feature music from the Disney songbook, including some rare and/or never recorded toon tunes. In addition to the usual (has there ever been a Disney cover album without "When You Wish Upon a Star"?), Kerry will croon ...

Voting will continue through May 16, with the final results revealed June 2. And if you're still in the voting mood, ...
