A Lifetime of Academy Awards (Part II)
<p>Just in time for the 93rd Academy Awards, Jordan continues this Hollywood-themed podcast with cinephile friend, Claire.</p> <p>For Part II, Jordan and Claire give the Academy credit where credit is due and list off their favorite Award wins and nominations.</p> <p>Following that, the conversation gets meta! Jordan and Claire observe the behind-the-scenes politics of the 74th Academy Awards Ceremony (the first ceremony to air after the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks) as well as the 75th (the show that aired days after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq). They also work in a few jabs at other Academy controversies because there have been plenty of ‘em in the years since!</p> <p>It remains to be seen whether Jordan or Claire will ever win their own Academy Awards in this lifetime, so they instead conclude by asking the age-old question, “Do the Awards even matter?” (The answer being…maybe?)</p> <p>Listen to Part I <a href="https://anchor.fm/year2000fix/episodes/A-Lifetime-of-Academy-Awards-Part-I-evavlp" target="_blank">here</a></p> <p><a href="https://anchor.fm/year2000fix/episodes/A-Lifetime-of-Academy-Awards-Part-I-evavlp" target="_blank">Message Year2000Fix on Anchor!</a></p> <p>WORKS CITED:</p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/243rzhts" target="_blank">Then-Academy President Frank Pierson’s 2001 Open Letter “The Terrorists Won’t Be Allowed to Hijack Oscar”</a></p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/yxxresj9" target="_blank">Review from TIME Magazine of 74th Academy Awards</a></p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/pep2fenm" target="_blank">Excerpts from Steve Pond’s 2005 Book</a> “The Big Show: High Times and Dirty Dealings Backstage at the Academy Awards” – Includes info on the influence of the Iraq War on the Oscars</p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/pdxnjyhz" target="_blank">The LA TIMES</a> on the Iraq War and the Buildup to the 75th Academy Awards</p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/3c8nmd6p" target="_blank">Michael Moore’s Oscar Acceptance Speech</a> (Presented by Diane Lane)</p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/nn3nwwdd" target="_blank">Transcript</a> of Michael Moore’s speech with commentary</p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/vrwvsd2d" target="_blank">Roger Ebert’s criticism</a> of Moore’s public statements and BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE.</p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/t9xp643e" target="_blank">Quoted article</a> criticizing Michael Moore getting booed while Roman Polanski was cheered. <a href="https://tinyurl.com/yv2tcmx7" target="_blank">Meryl Streep</a> was one of those people standing! <a href="https://tinyurl.com/5bhwfez4" target="_blank">Only recently</a> did certain celebrities express remorse for signing a petition to exonerate Polanski. <a href="https://tinyurl.com/brp4p5xn" target="_blank">Polanski would win again in 2020!</a></p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/27uzpes4" target="_blank">LIFE OF PI’s VFX Team Laughed off Stage</a>.

A Lifetime of Academy Awards (Part I)
<p><br></p> <p>With another Academy Awards Ceremony on the way, Jordan is joined by his cinephile friend, Claire, to talk about Hollywood’s biggest night! Together, they explore their first experiences watching the Oscars, their thoughts on the movies nominated this year, and their least favorite nominees and winners from the last 20 years. They also go over the shady politics that determine who goes home with a golden statue and the now-disgraced man who dominated the awards circuit for most of the 21st century.</p> <p>This episode is mostly Spoiler-Free and where there are spoilers…well, look you probably weren’t going to see the movie anyway.

The 2003 California Recall - PART III: Arnold the President of KALLIE-FOR-NI-YA
<p>The villainous plan of America’s energy pirates worked! They humiliated California Governor Gray Davis with their manufactured blackouts and made sure the Federal Government allowed them to bankrupt states with their obscene energy prices. Just as they planned, California’s voters were fed up with Gray Davis and the number of grievances they had with the governor would only grow. While Gray Davis narrowly won his 2002 re-election, he’d soon learn that his job was about to be (wait for it) TERMINATED!</p> <p>In the Part III conclusion of YEAR 2000 FIX’s Recall mini-series, Jordan explains how California’s 2003 Gubernatorial Recall became a reality, how Arnold Schwarzenegger (a movie star with no political experience) booted Gray Davis out of office, and the legacy of California under Schwarzenegger.</p> <p>Links to <a href="https://anchor.fm/year2000fix/episodes/The-2003-California-Recall---PART-I-The-ENRON-States-of-America-esphgl" target="_blank">Part I </a>and <a href="https://tinyurl.com/5wyfzkzk" target="_blank">Part II</a></p> <p><a href="https://anchor.fm/year2000fix" target="_blank">Message YEAR 2000 FIX on Anchor here!</a></p> <p><strong>SELECTED WORKS CITED:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/48ae2j2b" target="_blank">Arnold JibJab Video</a></p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/3e23cwz3" target="_blank">Jay Leno Announcement Video</a></p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/395ez9xm" target="_blank">LA TIMES on 2003 Recall Election Results</a></p> <p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/4sh3jsbe" target="_blank">Article on leadup to the Recall</a>.
