Jimmy

I recently finished watching Anatomy of a Murder, a film from 1959 with a cast including Jimmy Stewart, a very young George C. Scott, and a score from Duke Ellington.

After having also recently watched The Glenn Miller Story, along with the other Jimmy Stewart movies I've seen over the years, I decided to do a little research over at IMDB.

Does anyone else find it a travesty that besides a lifetime achievement award, Stewart only received five Oscar nominations and only won once?

Even considering some stiff competition throughout the years including Charlton Heston, Jack Lemmon, Spencer Tracy, Laurence Olivier, Gregory Peck, Henry Fonda, Charlie Chaplin, Mickey Rooney, and Clark Gable, among others, I find it a little disappointing that Stewart didn't win more Academy Awards.

Birds

In addition to the improvement in the weather, there have been two other tell-tale signs of spring around here. I've seen (and heard) robins, and I've seen red wing blackbirds.
