Just to be clear, I did not say I thought it was okay or fair game. I said the filmmaker felt that way. And I'm simply pointing out that it's not new. It has been a part of drama for centuries. But I also feel there's a world of difference between falsely showing a real person shooting...

Great example! There is no historical evidence of that, and Murdoch's family was quite angry over it. But because there's no evidence to the contrary and he was among the dead, he was viewed as "fair game" for the event in the film, which may not have even happened at all. Although, I do also...

Also, the fact remains that the facts are out there, as has been evidenced by the myriad discussions about how the film has changed them. So they are there for people to read, if they choose to. And people are free to write books, magazine articles, etc about the real Travers and her feelings...

And the biggest reason: Streep made her comments the night of January 7th. The cutoff time to have the nominations ballot IN to Price Waterhouse was 5:00pm the next day, January 8th. Not postmarked, but IN Price Waterhouse's hands. They simply could not have played a huge factor in Emma's lack...

I never said they were right; just stated what the buzz was. And that it was that way long before Streep's comments.

I'm sorry, but this is completely overstated. Most all my clients are Academy members and none of them thought very highly of the film or of either Hanks' or Thompson's performances WAY before Streep's comments were made. The buzz in the industry was that the film was not an Oscar contender on...
