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.

I have read almost all of Agatha Christie's novels, so the success of Branagh's movie makes me happy that another such film will probably get made. But Lumet's version is really great (and starred some great theater folk like Lauren Bacall and Vanessa Redgrave).
