I assumed "Dunkirk" would win. I mean, how could they not vote for that?

Were they even in WW1 Germany? I didn't think they got any further than Belgium.

I agree. WW just wasn't that good. The leads and direction were fine, but the story was formulaic and didn't make a lot of sense. This was not a work of art. Money is their reward.

Harrelson has the right face for it, as well as the acting chops to pull it off. His hair is a little distracting, but I admit that my memories of LBJ are all from black and white media. Anyway, I can accept that an actor of any note is not usually going to be a presidential look-alike. (Sarah Palin has been unusually…

A more cynical reading is also possible.

I see that Tom Howard was LBJ's body, and John William Galt his voice, in Oliver Stone's "JFK" (which posits that LBJ was involved in JFK's murder).

Clearly there is room here for a more (shall we say) psychoanalytically oriented biography of LBJ, like Kakar's on Tagore. One chapter could be devoted to his penis, another to his habit of receiving visitors while sitting on the toilet, etc.

Next let's analyze the Apache word *enukchuk.

Robin Williams played both Eisenhower and Teddy Roosevelt.

Of course they have to force him into a Hollywood-style "character arc," in which the death of Kennedy inspires him to commit to the civil rights movement, or some such.

Well, he arranged to go to a mostly female college—where it was a buyer's market, so to speak—then picked out a rich girl and married her.

So Beavis is…possessed by the ghost of LBJ?

I think LBJ played himself in "Forrest Gump."

Fo shizzy.

All of these letters represent sexual minorities. "People of Color" reflects, I suppose, American racial minorities (but why not just call them that?), and not much else. The implication is usually that there are too many of one and not enough of the other. On the other hand, US "affirmative action" classificatory…

I have often argued that "Amos and Andy" (either version) has been treated unfairly by our collective memory.

Ask your Italian-American friends how they feel about the Godfather series. (Actual Italians can be asked how they feel about Da Vinci Code tourism.)

Just wait until ancestral DNA testing catches on more, and the census will start asking questions about your haplogroups!

Well, "race" is a modern concept, but closely-related forms of xenophobia, ethnocentricism, and atrocities directed at other identity groups are well attested cross-culturally.

Hank Azaria arguably deconstructs the whole fake-Indian thing through his character "the Blue Raja" in "Mystery Men."
