November. It's a Wrap
Wednesday, November 30, 2016 at 2:03PM November's most fun exercize was a ranking of the "1 and done" actors and actresses who've won Oscars in their only competition, and updating the Oscar charts for 2016, too. The key awards events were the Indie Spirits which Moonlight and American Honey led with six nominations apiece and the Gothams which went big for Moonlight and also loved all over Isabelle Huppert. Here are 16 key posts from the month in case you missed any of them.

I've loved Chris Pine since Princess Diaries 2.
I guess that means the 1963 smackdown isn't a thing for the time being
It was a terrific month. Really enjoyed the one and done actress/actor posts and the ongoing Judy by the Numbers.
I have the same question as ken s. Any hope for the 1963 Smackdown happening soon?
Two little things, Nat: you mean Judy & Barbra (not Liza) and it was the Indie Spirit Award nominations...
Request: Young Man with a Horn (Douglas, Bacall, Day, Hoagy Carmichael), although I have the vague feeling it's been written up here before.
Are you ever going to release the part 2 from the last podcast?
Too bad you are paying tribute to Kirk Douglas....he was the mega star\producer who raped Natalie Wood when she was only ,15...
Love the pic! Unstoppable 2: Hell or High Fences.
rick -- to be quite honest i only recently heard that rumor but i try not to focus on internet gossip. no way to know if those things are true or not. As with all actors, i'd rather just think about the work in question.
jordan -- yes. just swamped is all. hopefully tomorrow.
NOT gossip.
Thankyou for sharing us such a great information.
