Today’s song of the day is a reminder to set your clocks if you haven’t done so already. We lost an hour this morning and who knows if we’ll ever get it back.
Here is Hans Zimmer’s beautiful Time, from the Inception soundtrack.

Music Video of the Day: Time by Hans Zimmer (2017, dir by ????)
This is a piece of music that I’ve had stuck in my head ever since the middle of January. What can I say? The more days pass, the more you think about Time. Whenever I hear this piece of music, I wonder if that top ever stopped spinning. I also wonder if this is real or if it’s all a dream. That’s the power of a great musical score. Much time has passed but I’m happy to say that there’s still much time to come.
This video was filmed at a performance in Prague.
Enjoy!

The Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Honor Nomadland
The Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics announced their picks for best of 2020 yesterday. I’m sad to say that they picked the exact same winners that all the other critics groups are picking. I mean, seriously, DFW — we’re supposed to be the individualists and the contrarians! We’re supposed to be the ones who say, “We’re going to honor whoever we want and if you folks up north don’t like it, tough!” Where’s that independent spirit?
In other words — where’s the love for Money Plane!? I keep waiting for one of these critics groups to have the courage to honor one of the best films of the year. They don’t even have to name it best picture. How about Kelsey Grammer for best supporting actor. “I am the Rumble!” Who else could have delivered that line as skillfully? But, so far, none of the regional groups have had the guts. As a result, both the Golden Globes and SAG ignored Money Plane. I’m starting think that the Oscars might do the same thing. Sometimes, the best films go unhonered and that could happen here. “We’re going to rob the money plane!” That’s a line that will never be forgotten.
Oh well. I am happy that Carey Mulligan won best actress. I haven’t watched Judas and the Black Messiah yet but Daniel Kaluuya is really coming on strong here in the home stretch so I’m going to guess that he’ll soon be picking up his second Oscar nomination. Even if Money Plane is being snubbed, it’s still interesting to watch momentum for a performance build in real time.
Here are the winners from my hometown:
Best Picture
Nomadland
Best Actor
Chadwick Boseman – Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
Best Actress
Carey Mulligan – Promising Young Woman
Best Supporting Actor
Daniel Kaluuya – Judas And The Black Messiah

The Washington D.C. Film Critics Honor Wonder Woman 1984!
Well, the Washington D.C. Area Film Critics did pick Wonder Woman 1984 as being the best 2020 cinematic depiction of life in Washington D.C.
However, Nomadland won best picture. Chloe Zhao picked up best director. Frances McDormand won best actress. In fact, to be honest, it was pretty much the same films and people who have been winning the majority of the prizes since award season began. That’s not a complaint, mind you. It’s just that, when the same film keeps winning over and over again, it makes you appreciate things like Wonder Woman 1984 picking up an award for being the best cinematic depiction of life in Washington D.C.
Here are the winners from our nation’s capital:

The London Film Critics Circle Honors Nomadland
Even in London, they love Nomadland!
The London Film Critics Circle named their best of the year yesterday. I imagine that this will have negligible influence on the Oscar race since some of the films honored have yet to be released in the States and some of the biggest Oscar contenders have yet to be released in the UK. Still, I think it’s always interesting to see what films are being honored outside of the U.S. Cinema is an international art form.
