Academy AWQrd A.M.PAS.«> and OeW!" ~'91 t are the trademarks and the Oscar statuet/e IS Ihe regiStered design marK and copyrighled propArty of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Dear Academy Member Some years are more susceptible than others to characterization with a glib phrase. For some, for example, this will be "The Year the Oscars were Stolen." Those of us who were involved, of course, will always remember that week, and we'll probably even refer to the year that way. But the 12 months were too filled with expanded programs, new programs and planned programs for that one event to characterize it. It truly was a transitional year. The switch from the 1900s to the 2000s, which fell midway in our fiscal accounting, is an excellent metaphor for this Academy year, firmly grounded in a tradition of excellence but looking forward to a blossoming future. We began to see the effects of our improved financial position. We tripled the funding of our grants program, announced the creation of an Academy Film Scholars competition and launched the first of what will be an ongoing series of membership forums. Membership committees worked diligently throughout the year on questions of awards categori es and branch makeup, while the staff searched for physical space into which some of the expanded and new programs can move. It is an exciting time to be a part of the Academy and we are looking forward to a Wild, but fun, ride ahead. Robert Rehme President Rehme looks alone in the auditorium at Parker Center, but the news conference has ended, the press has left, a police photographer is on stage recording each serial number for eVidence purposes and the president IS wailing patiently to retum the recovered Oscar statuettes to the Academy. It probably would have been more fun for new telecast producers Richard and Lili Fini Zanuck if the 72nd Academy Awards process had continued as smoothly and efficiently as it started out. By the end of 1999 the Zanucks had come up with a number of innovative ideas, were pushing the technological envelope with a dynamite set design, had blocked out most of the show and had signed up Billy Crystal. The new year stayed calm and progressed through the necessary pre-telecast steps as smoothly as ever in memory - right up to the Saturday night of the Scientific and Technical Awards Presentation when the subtext among the members in the room was, "I didn't get and his wife, presenter Nicole Kidman, wrth my final ballot yet. Did you get yours?" ABC pre-show host Chris Connelly. The universal answer was "No. " And with three weeks to go before the show it was clear that nobody on the west coast had received ballots. That kicked off what progressed into the strangest pre-Awards countdown in the three-decade memory of some partiCipants. The ba llots were searched for and finally found - after replacements had been mailed - in the U. S. Postal Service's bulk mail sorting center in Bell , California. A breath of relief. Not for long. By Monday of the next week it became clear that the Oscar statuettes themselves were missing. Not just missing, it turned out, but stolen, from a shipping dock in, yes, Bell. Opposite left: Best Actress Hilary Swank. Over the following weekend they were found outside a dumpster in Koreatown, and two men were in LAPD custody. Fifty-two of them were released from police custody on Monday and on Wednesday, with OppOSite right: four days to go, 55 newly-minted statuettes arrived from Chicago. Best Actor Kevin Spacey. Another deep sigh of relief. Until Leading Actress nominee Annette Bening 's doctor suggested she might be just a tad too pregnant to present an Oscar and, by the way, is there some quick way out of the auditorium? Warren came by to check it out and the Zanucks and director Louis J. Horvitz began to formulate Plans B, C and D, including the possibility of a television camera in her hospital room. Then on Friday morning the Wall Street Journal announced who Sunday's winners would be, based upon their "exit poll" of over 300 members. As Executive Director Bruce Davis said in a hastily called news conference that morning, "There's always one geek who wants to tell you the end of the movie." (The Journal did pretty well , hitting on five of its six predictions and presumably proving an object lesson for loofje-lipped AMPAS members.) Irving G. Thalberg Memorial The rest of the week was pretty quiet. Award winner Warren Beatty with his wife, Best Actress The show itself was widely acknowledged to be one of the nominee Annette Bening at brightest and cleverest in memory. Yes, it was long: again the Governors Ball. over four hours. But the fact that it didn't seem long is what mattered mostly. As for the Zanucks, Dick called it "an incredible experience that didn't turn out to be scary at all. It was the most memorable experience of our careers."

If it was any other time of year these three and their boyfriends might be heading to a concert or bar, but it is Halloween which means that like everyone else they will be bound for Hell Fest – a sprawling labyrinth of rides, games and mazes that travels the country and happens to be in town. Every year thousands follow Hell Fest to experience fear at the ghoulish carnival of nightmares. But for one visitor, Hell Fest is not the attraction – it is a hunting ground.

  • Uses of the Judeo-Christian Bible in the Anti-Abolitionist
    THIS FIERCE GEOMETRY: USES OF THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN BIBLE IN THE ANTI-ABOLITIONIST AND ANTI-GAY RHETORIC OF THE UNITED STATES by Michael J. Mazza B.

Mazza, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2009 Copyright © by Michael J. Mazza 2009 iii Jean Ferguson Carr_______ THIS FIERCE GEOMETRY: USES OF THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN BIBLE IN THE ANTI-ABOLITIONIST AND ANTI-GAY RHETORIC OF THE UNITED STATES Michael J. Mazza, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation examines the citational use of the Judeo-Christian Bible in two sociopolitical debates within the United States: first, the debate over the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century, and second, the contemporary debate over gay rights. This study incorporates two core theses. First, I argue that the contemporary religious right, in its anti-gay use of the Bible, is replicating the hermeneutical practices used by opponents of the abolitionist movement. My second thesis parallels the first: I argue that the contemporary activists who reclaim the Bible as a pro-gay instrument are standing in the same hermeneutical tradition as nineteenth-century Christian abolitionists.

  • Wmc Investigation: 10-Year Analysis of Gender & Oscar
    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

She moves with an impossible fluid weightlessness, as does the camera, which revolves around her while the hapless cops remain frozen.
