I started my Directed By Kevin Costner journey back in October, looking at the films of 1990, the year he made Dances with Wolves and won Best Director for his efforts. Among the competition both at the box office and the Oscars was The Godfather Part III and its director, Francis Ford Coppola. Both men came back in 2024 with passion projects financed either partially or in whole from their own pockets. Both projects were highly anticipated, at least by me.

Year-ish Ahead: The 97th Academy Awards
Usually like to do these earlier in the month, but that's not what happened.
Last year, my April predictions for the 96th Academy Awards were my best ever, I'm pretty sure. I mean, golly, not only did I correctly predict many of the nominees, I correctly foresaw Oppenheimer's wins in Picture, Director, and Supporting Actor! I also knew The Holdovers was gonna do well, but - even to the end - I was too optimistic about Paul Giamatti's triumph. But gosh, 4/5 of the Best Actor nominees!
I don't expect to do that well again. But why not try?
