Friday night, Jack, Sharon and I rewatched Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. We had seen it in the theater when it first came out. Sharon actually saw it twice in the theater: once with me; and once with Jack. The movie is on the New York Times list of the 100 best films of the 21st century.The movie was nominated for ten Oscars, including: Best Picture; Best Director (Quentin Tarantino); Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio); Best Original Screenplay (Quentin Tarantino); Best Cinematography (Robert Richardson); Best Supporting Actor: Brad Pitt; Best Production Design: Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh; Best Costume Design: Arianne Phillips (lost to Little Women); Best Sound Editing: Wylie Stateman; and Best Sound Mixing.
Although I predicted it to win best picture in 2020, it was beat out out by Parasite!?! It took home two wins: Best Supporting Actor: Brad Pitt (for his performance as Cliff Booth); and Best Production Design: Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh (for their meticulous recreation of 1969 Los Angeles). This was Brad Pitt's first-ever Oscar for acting (he had previously won as a producer for 12 Years a Slave).
Both Sharon and I enjoyed rewatching the movie more than we expected.
