Dave Levora, Darren Pitra, and Mike Schulz remain besotted by the forthcoming Oscar ceremony while still managing to discuss cinema both in-house and on the make. Levora’s case that The Drama would win an Oscar for Best Trailer has left folks wondering if there should be a whole different award ceremony to celebrate the work of the advertisers in selling those films to the moviegoing public. What would we call them? The Mopies (a shortening of “Motion Picture Arts and Sciences”)? Would the statuettes be cast in an Art Nouveau mold to contrast it with the Oscars’ Art Deco style? All very worthwhile questions.
