President Jean announced the election of Day-ton Rotary’s Frank Scott as District Governor 2022-2023 by District 6670 Nominating Commit-tee. Congratulations, Frank! Thank you for serv-ing our club and district so well. Lisa Grigsby introduced our presenter, Jonathan McNeal, Manager of The NEON Theater, for his insight into the 2020 Academy Award Nomina-tions. Jonathan gave background and showed short clips on three of the films nominated in 2020: JOJO Rabbit – a satire about a boy, part of Hit-ler Youth, whose imaginary friend is Adolph Hit-ler. The boy’s mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic. Written, directed and playing the part of Adolph Hitler, is Taika Waititi, who is Jewish. This is the highest grossing film of 2019 at The NEON. (6 nominations) Parasite – A black comedy which exposes how greed and class discrimination threaten the new-ly formed reciprocal relationship between a wealthy family and a destitute one. The screen writer, Bong Joon Ho, is the first South Korean to win the Palm d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Ho realizes the biggest challenge for viewership is the subtitles – “The 2-inch Hurdle…). (6 nomi-nations for this film.) Jonathan’s Favorite this year. ...continued on page 4

This Happened Last Monday Continued… Little Women – Perhaps the best adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s book about the 4 March sisters. The story integrates Jo’s interactions with a New York book publisher who buys the rights to publish it. (6 nominations) Lead Actress Nominations: Renee Zellweger (Judy) Proba-ble Winner; Saoirse Ronan (Little Women) – Jon’s pick; Cyn-thia Erivo (Harriet); Scarlett Johansson (Marriage Story); Charlize Theron (Bombshell) Supporting Actress Nominations: Laura Dern (Marriage Story) – Probable Winner; Florence Pugh (Little Women) – Jon’s pick; Kathy Bates (Richard Jewell); Scarlett Johansson (JOJO Rabbit); Margot Robbie (Bombshell) Lead Actor Nominations: Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) – Proba-ble Winner; Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes (Jon’s Pick); An-tonio Banderas (Pain & Glory); Leonardo DeCaprio (Once Up-on a Time…In Hollywood); Adam Driver (Marriage Story) Supporting Actor Nominations: Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood) – Probable Winner; Tom Hanks (It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood) – Jon’s Pick; Antony Hop-kins (The Two Popes); Al Pacino (The Irishman); Joe Pesci (The Irishman) Best Picture: 1917 or Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood – Likely one of these will win; Parasite – Jon’s Pick; The Irish-man; Joker; JOJO Rabbit; Little Women; Marriage Story; Ford vs. Ferrari Of Note: Best Documentary Nomination - American Factory (Julia Reichert and Steve Bognar); It is a front-runner for Best Documentary. Julia is currently directing a film about the 925 Clerical Union (now SIEU), part of the inspiration of the film 9 to 5. The shift of The NEON to a not-for-profit has been completed. It will enable the theater to submit grant proposals, develop a capital campaign for building improvements, allow donors to contribute to the theater. http://www.neonmovies.com/ The purchase of Fox Searchlight by Disney Streaming adds to its ownership of large film libraries. Disney owns Marvel and Pixar. This new acquisition raises questions about accessibility of film libraries available up to now by independent theaters. The name has already changed to Searchlight.
