I think you might've answered your own question: It (probably) came out early enough that other films that came out closer to the nomination announcement supplanted it. Which tends to happen a lot; the majority of films/actors nominated in the major categories are for movies/performances which came out closer to the nomination announcement.

I'm glad to hear Grant Shaud likes having been part of the show (& therefore, might be back). Usually when someone leaves a show before it gets canceled/naturally ends, they have no interest in doing anything else regarding that show. And they need a new network exec. The actors who played Kinsella & Lansing have both died since the original show ended. Miles was supposedly a "young 'wunderkind' type" when he was brought in as executive producer of FYI. Maybe they could say he became a network exec for the same qualities since the original ended.

OK... I checked. It looks like Pat Corley didn't die until 2006 (so after the show ended); but it seems like he maybe wasn't on the show as regularly after a certain point as before--so maybe he, & the character, was (supposed to have been) ill at some point. I don't remember anymore. There's at least 1 reference to him only appearing in the show's opening credits when his character was actually in the episode. @biakbiak said no Eldin & no Phil (in the revival) makes them sad. Don't forget, there probably won't be any Miles in the revival either. Grant Shaud, who played Miles, left the show at the end of S8 after (as I remember) getting into a relationship with Corky, then eventually marrying her, without Murphy or anyone else at work finding out. I think Miles ended up asking for a divorce before the show ended (or Corky got pregnant, or something); but by that time I think pretty much everybody at work somehow knew about Corky & Miles, so Corky had people to lean on during whatever it was. And Lily Tomlin joined the cast for Seasons 9 & 10 as the new FYI Executive Producer, Kay Carter-Shepley. Despite Kay's experience in TV, she had only produced game shows before joining FYI.

I think the guy who ran their restaurant/hangout after the original (Pat Corley) died too; maybe towards the end of the series. Didn't Murphy & the gang run it by the time it ended?

Very cool. I hope they include an age-appropriate version of Murphy's son Avery, instead of retconning him out of existence like Will and Grace did with Grace & Leo's child (daughter?) & with the son of Will & his husband(?) who were in the original series finale, supposedly the people who got their parents to speak with each other again after a 20-year estrangement (I think). If shooting conflicts with Grace and Frankie, the Netflix show she's currently in with Jane Fonda, Sam Waterston & Martin Sheen, they might have to replace Lily Tomlin's Producer character from the last season or so, Kay Carter-Shepley. And I really hope Avery gets the chance to remind Murphy he's apparently a Barry Manilow fan as opposed to his mom's love of Motown!

The Hollywood Reporter Says She Died at Her Home in Mexico on January 14th at 75

I agree with you; (you'd think) there had to be something more to this besides hypothermia (& all I've read about it is the info in the link I originally posted)--like a "medical emergency" (as the press calls it when somebody does something unexpected & strange, like driving their car into a building) resulting, somehow, in the hypothermia getting to a fatal stage before he was found. I just don't think there's any way someone can die by hypothermia in any way other than accidentally--unless maybe they stage their own disappearance (get rid of their car, somehow) then somehow get themselves somewhere they won't be found easily before hypothermia can set in fatally. Obviously, if the death wasn't meant to be accidental, they'd have to figure out how to keep from being found before things were irreversible.

Right now, I think I'd give it to Allison Janney. She already has both the Golden Globe & SAG Award for her performance, if she doesn't also have any foreign awards (like the BAFTA) for it. When the same person wins the Golden Globe & the SAG Award for a single performance, as Janney has, that usually raises their chances for taking the Oscar too. But I think there have been years where that also didn't happen. I just keep thinking about JK Simmons winning as Supporting Actor for Whiplash--As I remember, he was nominated for Supporting Actor in Whiplash at pretty much every awards show where a Supporting Actor category was honored & (again as I remember), he swept every single award he was nominated for at an awards show whether it was a major or minor award.

All things considered, I could probably go for "equally troubled" in front of "mother ". As I wrote the post I was trying to figure out how to say both Tonya & her mother had their own set(s) of issues, without being too confusing in wording, & couldn't figure out how to do that. So I decided to focus on Tonya as the really troubled person, considering most/all of her life & her amateur figure skating eligibility, among other things, were really screwed up, if not ruined, by (among other things) the choices she made, the company she kept, & perhaps her jealousy of rival Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan's skating ability vs. her own skating ability.

Congratulations to Allison Janney! She was announced just minutes ago, as I write this, as an Oscar nominee in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role category, for her role as troubled Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding's equally troubled mother in the film I, Tonya. And Aaron Sorkin was nominated in the Best Adapted Screenplay category for Molly's Game.

No crustaceans were involved in some of McGarrett's/Five-0's early dealings with Kamekona because when they originally met, Kamekona was only running Waiola Shave Ice, a shave ice stand (it may have multiple locations). At that point (at least in the Pilot), McGarrett & Danno just had to stand around in Waiola Shave Ice t-shirts, holding &/or consuming shave ice in front of others, to get the info. The shrimp truck (& I think Taylor Wily, aka Kamekona, is a partner in/an owner of 1 in real life) wasn't added to Kamekona's business ventures until the end of S1/beginning of S2. Kamekona's also run a island sightseeing helicopter, which I think he still has; & a boat/catamaran sightseeing vessel, which broke apart during a sightseeing tour test run involving Kamekona, Max Bergman, & others besides Steve & Danny I've forgotten.

It counts if we have the whole series but bought the seasons individually & not in an all-inclusive set, right? I have an Olivia Newton-John concert that aired on HBO in the early '80's, I think & was taped during her show at Weber State University in Utah, around the time when her song Physical was being banned from the radio in various conservative parts of the US for being "too suggestive". And I just ordered a DVD from a concert tour she did in Australia a few years ago with a male Australian singer/songwriter she knows (not Keith Urban), & the DVD version of her last Hits compilation (both of which were recorded live at the Sydney Opera House in Australia). I have 2-3, maybe more, DVDs that came with Celine Dion CDs & at least 1 individual concert DVD by her. I have, probably, over 2 dozen Barry Manilow DVDs--mostly live concerts taped for airing on cable TV or PBS, or as part of a 2-disc Live release with both an audio & video disc; the rest are "traditional" variety specials he did, back in the day, for airing on ABC & CBS; I also have "Making of" DVDs/Dualdiscs about the making of a few of his CDs; the DVD for the TV movie he starred in for CBS in 1985 based on his song Copacabana; a Live by Request show he did for A&E sometime in the '90's, I think, where he did songs from his Christmas albums at that point, plus his hits (he also did another episode of this series which didn't involve Christmas music; I also have a DVD of various performances of Barry's (I think TV & Concert) which was included with his then-career spanning boxed set, released in late 1992. I also have: All 4 seasons of the sci-fi series Torchwood; all 7 seasons of The West Wing--purchased individually & as the Complete Series box set; the single seasons of Three Rivers & Moonlight, Alex O'Loughlin's 2 failed CBS series before the Hawaii Five-0 reboot became a hit; all 4 seasons of Starsky & Hutch; & the only season of Aaron Sorkin's followup to The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. I also have Season 1 of Brothers & Sisters, which I started buying because Rob Lowe joined the cast & stayed through the end of Season 4, but I never bought S2, 3, & 4 yet. I also have S1-4 of The Americans, a show that airs on FX (& has aired 5 seasons, but hasn't released the S5 DVDs yet), which stars Keri Russell (Felicity) & Matthew Rhys (who had played the gay brother on Brothers & Sisters before this show) as Russian spies pretending to be Americans, married travel agents with 2 tween/teenage kids, who are embedded in the Washington DC area during the Reagan presidential era; & I have the 7 seasons of the current Hawaii Five-0 which have already come out on DVD (S8 is currently airing on CBS & won't be on DVD until this season finishes airing... anywhere from this spring until next fall, when S9 hopefully begins airing). I also have the TV movie The Return of Ironside; the original version of Ironside, with Raymond Burr, was a favorite show of mine, back in the day (Blair Underwood starred in a very short-lived NBC reboot a few years ago, which I think wasn't successful because the only things they used from the original were the titular character's name & the premise that he was a police officer/detective in a major US city who suffered a permanently-paralyzing gunshot injury, resulting in paraplegia & permanent use of a wheelchair, & who went back to solving crimes upon his recovery, aided by a team of associates, most of whom were police officers before joining Ironside's team--the character names of Ironside's associates were among the elements not transferred between the original & the reboot). I also have 3 movies: The Other Side of the Mountain & The Other Side of the Mountain Part 2, late 1970's biographical films about 1950's amateur skier/ski champion Jill Kinmont (later Jill Kinmont Boothe), a hopeful for the 1956 US Winter Olympics Ski Team (those games were held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy) who lost control during her run at the Snow Cup in Alta, Utah (apparently then 1 of the last big qualifiers for places on the US Winter Olympics Ski Team) & crashed, breaking her neck & rendering herself a wheelchair-dependent quadriplegic, permanently paralyzed from the neck down, just short of her 19th birthday. Despite the severity of the injury, modern medicine/physical rehabilitation at the time (& after) was able to keep her alive until 2012, when she died at 75. Between her injury & death, she became a respected educator; originally at Indian Reservation schools in the area of her Bishop, California, hometown. They would hire her despite her disability, because they needed teachers badly enough they didn't have any rules about hiring/not hiring disabled people like the major, mostly public, school systems in larger cities in California (& probably the rest of the US) did at the time. She also married trucker John Boothe in 1976; they remained married until her death. And I have Unconditional Love (2002). That's a kinda cute movie, starring (among others) Kathy Bates, Rupert Everett, Dan Aykroyd & Meredith Eaton, who's on the current MacGyver reboot as the Director of the Phoenix Foundation, a covert operation believed to be a think tank, which sends MacGyver & friends on secret missions to save the world. It also has a cameo appearance by Barry Manilow at the end.

Here is the obit update from USA Today.

From USA Today: A Year in Provence Author Peter Mayle Dead at Age 78 As I remember, my mom liked that book.

Regarding the bolded: That was my point; maybe I just worded it weirdly, again. Some people don't care if their license is suspended or not (or how it got suspended). They're gonna keep on driving anyway, either just to spite the court for taking away their license or because losing their license means they can't go to work, because they can't arrange alternate transportation, & if they can't go to work it'd cause a financial hardship for them/their family. Yeah that was sad about the Aunt & Uncle having to decide to remove their niece's life support. But if her parents had survived, it would've been up to them; and who knows if they'd have been ready to do that or not.

Sorry... I was trying to see if I could fix an error I just found, which of course is bugging me now; but when I tried to, it reposted the post as a quote (granted, including letting me fix the error), which I didn't want. So just ignore this space now. Thanks.

Well (as horrible as this is gonna sound), at least we/the people of Australia don't have to worry about that other driver, who shouldn't have even been 1, getting himself or anyone else killed or permanently injured/disabled through another accident since he managed to kill himself in this accident. But the death of this guy's really just "a drop in the bucket", as far as eradicating the problem of people driving under the influence of various intoxicating substances is concerned.

Yep. Even worse, I think the article/obit I linked to said she was only 29, & her sister was only 21. Too young. This article, from the Australian news media, said--as you did--the entire Falkholt family died as a result of the crash. And, the dead driver from the other car had been arrested numerous times--I think I read something like 9 times--for the Australian equivalent of driving with a suspended license, presumably for the Australian equivalent of a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or an DWI/OWI (Driving/Operating [a motor vehicle, etc.--NOT performing surgery] While Intoxicated, which is what I think we call it here in Indiana now). And I thought something like that might've been involved (DUI, DWI/OWI). Considering the physical devastation, I'm not sure it could've been due to anything else. The Australian article says the other driver was on his way (presumably home) from a methadone clinic. A former Australian law enforcement person who seemed to be familiar with the apparently troubled dead driver--or at least with his legal record/"rap sheet"--said the guy had had his license suspended so much, for so long, they were surprised he was involved in this accident as 1 of the drivers--like they thought he should still be unable to drive from whenever his license had last been suspended (like people who are banned from driving won't keep doing it anyway).
