I'm no fan of ''The Greatest Showman,'' but I thought it would do better this morning at the Oscar nominations.
Its Best Song nomination was a fait accompli, but some pundits thought it might get a Costumes and a Sound nomination, too.
As for ''Murder on the Orient Express,'' Branagh's remake was far inferior to the classy 1974 version, directed by Sidney Lumet.
Using the Oscars as a yardstick, Lumet's ''Murder'' got 6 nominations (and won 1); Branagh's got none. |
