Hello Charles! This week, we talk about a real headscratcher: how did Ang Lee\u2019s The Ice Storm<\/i> get no Oscar nominations? Debuting at the Cannes Film Festival and Lee\u2019s follow-up to his first Oscar success Sense and Sensibility<\/i>, The Ice Storm<\/i> is perhaps even more critically beloved than when it debuted in 1997. But this was also the year of every other movie chasing Titanic<\/i>\u2019s shadow.<\/p>\n
The film had several potential points of entry into the Oscar race – Adapted Screenplay, its authentic period design, and especially Sigourney Weaver as a near nominee in Supporting Actress. But we discuss some of why it was shut out, whether it was the fallout for small movies caught in Titanic<\/i>\u2019s wave or fledgling indie distributor Fox Searchlight focusing its energy on The Full Monty<\/i>. Topics also include BAFTA\u2019s emerging days as an Oscar forecaster, the Oscar field that surrounded that incomparable front runner, and the injustice of Joan Allen\u2019s Oscar narrative.<\/p>\n
