Filmmaking - Oscar 2008


Dear Film Friend,

I wrote another Prediction Edition of my Oscar report, and you can find it here. See if your guess is as good as mine.

If you are watching the Oscars, enjoy yourself!

But...

I urge you to examine if you're wasting your precious and all-too-finite time, watching others' success or failure.

Or, if you are instead, consciously and with intent, living your own life, and making your own movies.

I'm not watching!

Time is short, and getting shorter. I'm working on my books and movies, and furthering my own projects, rather than watching or attending the Oscars.

Good wishes to my friends who are nominated,
and may all our dreams come true.

My Oscar reports of previous years can still be found here.

Best to you,

Sam Longoria

Sam's 2007 Oscar Report...

Filmmaking - Oscar 2007


Dear Film Friend,

I've decided the best use of my time this year is to work on
my own projects, rather than watching or attending the Oscars.
I will be working on my book, and my movies.

So I will not be there, watching, or even thinking about,
the Academy Awards in 2007.

My best wishes go out to my friends Mark Stetson and Bill Neil,
who did Special Visual Effects on "Superman Returns," which is
nominated, and Richard Edlund, who was awarded a John Bonner
medal by the Motion Picture Academy this year. We all worked
together on "Ghostbusters," 24 years ago.

Those who enjoyed my Oscar reports of previous years can still
read some of them here.

Best to you,

Sam Longoria

ps.

Okay, okay. Thank you for all the email and voicemail.
I have written a 2007 Oscar Report, and it's available here.
See if your guess is as good as mine.
