Awesome news. Corman directed and/or produced some of my all time favorite films. It's about time Hollywood recognised his contributions.
|
Fantastic!!
So glad the Academy is recognizing him. Even beyond his own work, he's started the careers of SO many amazing artists that modern cinema would really be nothing without him. I was lucky enough to attend a Q&A with him at the Rue Morgue festival, and he really is an amazing guy. Can't wait to hear his acceptance speech! |
Awesome news!
A very well deserved recognition. His works surely can play an inspiring role for new visionary film makers all over the world. It'll also be a great day for vintage horror movie fans to cherish & see finally honoring an Horror Movie icon in such a great platform.
For the last few years I have been missing the whole OSCAR show on TV somehow; but I won't dare to miss at least his portion of the program for sure this time. |
About time. A much-deserved one too.
Hearty congrats to Roger! |
Hopefully he won't pull a Hitchcock.

As it turns out, Corman will be receiving the award on Saturday, along with Lauren Bacall and Gordon Willis. I hope he gets to give a speech and I also hope he gets recognized at the big awards ceremony in the spring. But as of Saturday, he will have that statuette in his possession. I almost got to meet him a couple of times. (It's kind of weird that I didn't). At one film convention, I was on a film panel opposite a Q&A he did, so I didn't get to hear his Q&A. A couple years later, he came to a party in the hospitality suite of a publisher I've worked with, but he kind of walked in and out a few times talking on his cell phone. I was talking to friends so didn't really pay close attention. I just knew there was an older guy on his cell phone. Later found out it was Corman. Doh! Cindy |
