I am reading William Goldman's spectacular book Adventures in the Screen Trade, for the third time. He reminds us: in 1977 best picture noms included All the President's Men, Network & Taxi Driver. They all got beat by Rocky. – source2018-11-16T15:16:52.000Z
William Goldman died. Super talented novelist and screenwriter. (Butch Cassidy; Princess Bride; Marathon Man, etc.) His "Adventures in the Screen Trade" is still one of the great books on Hollywood. RIP. – source
