Not only are we Oscar historians here on This Had Oscar Buzz, we are also the Illuminati of Vanderbilts. This week, we look at the directorial debut of Zodiac<\/i> screenwriter James Vanderbilt Truth<\/i>. Detailing 60 Minutes\u2019 expose on President George W. Bush\u2019s military service that ended in Dan Rather\u2019s demise, the film starred Cate Blanchett as producer Mary Mapes and Robert Redford as Rather and died a quick death at the box office despite being a great on-paper Oscar prospect.<\/p>\n

Also the film\u2019s best chance at Oscar was overshadowed by herself – Blanchett (though great in Truth<\/i>) also had a little movie that year called Carol<\/i> that she ultimately was nominated for and earned even higher praise. But perhaps Truth was also compared against Spotlight<\/i>, another true journalism story and the eventual Best Picture winner.<\/p>\n

This week, we discuss the 2015 Oscar race at large, Redford\u2019s late-career Oscar close calls, and how Zodiac<\/i> was underappreciated in its initial release. Last call for Mailbag episode questions! Send us your questions to hadoscarbuzz@gmail.com and @Had_Oscar_Buzz on Twitter!<\/p>\n
