DAME ANGELA LANSBURY (1925-Died October 11th 2022,at 96). British American actress and singer who played many film, theatre and television roles. With one of the longest careers in the entertainment industry, her career spanned over 80 years, much of it in the United States; her work also received much international attention. Upon the death of Olivia de Havilland in July 2020, Lansbury became the earliest surviving Academy Award nominee and one of the last stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema.Lansbury was born to an upper-middle-class family in central London, the daughter of Irish actress Moyna Macgill and English politician Edgar Lansbury. To escape the Blitz, in 1940 she moved to the United States, there studying acting in New York City. Proceeding to Hollywood in 1942, she signed to MGM and obtained her first film roles, in Gaslight (1944) and The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), earning her two Oscar nominations and a Golden Globe Award. She appeared in 11 further MGM films, mostly in minor roles, and after her contract ended in 1952 she began supplementing her cinematic work with theatrical appearances. Although largely seen as a B-list star during this period, her appearance in the film The Manchurian Candidate (1962) received widespread acclaim and is cited as being one of her finer performances leading her to her third Academy Award nomination. Moving into musical theatre, Lansbury finally gained stardom for playing the leading role in the Broadway musical Mame (1966), which earned her her first Tony Award and established her as a gay icon.Amid difficulties in her personal life, Lansbury moved from California to County Cork, Ireland in 1970, and continued with a variety of theatrical and cinematic appearances throughout that decade. These included leading roles in the stage musicals Gypsy, Sweeney Todd, and The King and I, as well as in the hit Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971). Moving into television in 1984, she achieved worldwide fame as fictional writer and sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the American whodunit series Murder, She Wrote, which ran for 12 seasons until 1996, becoming one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history. Through Corymore Productions, a company that she co-owned with her husband Peter Shaw, Lansbury assumed ownership of the series and was its executive producer for the final four seasons. She also moved into voice work, contributing to animated films like Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991) and Don Bluth's Anastasia (1997). She toured in a variety of international productions and continued to make occasional film appearances such as Nanny McPhee (2005) and Mary Poppins Returns (2018).Lansbury received an Honorary Academy Award, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BAFTA, a Lifetime Achievement Tony Award and five additional Tony Awards, six Golden Globes, and an Olivier Award. She also was nominated for numerous other industry awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress on three occasions, and various Primetime Emmy Awards on 18 occasions, and a Grammy Award. In 2014, Lansbury was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. Her Murder,She Wrote,co star,Ron Masak,who played the cadillac driving sheriff of Cabot Cove, Mort Metzger,died just nine days later,on October 20th.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Lansbury

ok so MOST of my oscar predictions came true specifically for the major categories ! the only surprises were best actor (was expecting butler) and adapted screenplay (i thought ”all quiet” was a shoo-in but congrats women talking!!) but! overall once again a very expected type of academy award fare aka expression of how the academy wants to be perceived by the public

alright so first things first congratulations to 'everything everywhere all at once' the silly little weird genre anarchy film that took the conventions of narrative filmmaking and blew it up, smashing a few glass ceilings in the process. anyone with a camera can take a couple weird videos together and call it a “genre anarchy” film but it takes a real & rare kind of talent to  do one that actually has a heart at its core.

also think it's worthy of note that four years ago the first asian film won best picture with parasite, a film that basically excelled at every filmmaking technique in the book & elevating them all to create a tour de force of a film, and now four years later for another asian-led film that takes all those conventions and blows them all up in cinema anarchy to win best picture again only brings to mind how asian artistry really has always been excellent 

i'm always for everything everywhere to win all the awards  it deserves, but if we’re talking personal favorites that would probably be “banshees of inisherin” if i'm honest but i am biased cause its irish lol but it deserved at LEAST one win 

stephanie hsu (“everything everywhere”) and kerry condon (“banshees”) my beloveds I will avenge u both!!!! also dolly de leon!!!!

irks me a little bit that “all quiet” gets so much hate from film twitter for being probably the most earnest film in this season’s roster. “all quiet” is objectively and subjectively a decent film and film twitter are simply some of the most annoying ppl on the internet! what i loved most about it is that it isn’t made as an homage to any war heroes unlike others in its genre—it’s a faithful anti-war film adaptation of a landmark anti-war novel that stands squarely with the truth. “epiphany” by taylor recently played shortly after seeing this and i couldn’t function for a few minutes 

barry keoghan from “banshees” and felix kammerer from “all quiet” i am free to hang anytime btw !

shoutout  to “decision to leave” !! theres a certain way park chan wook manages to capture & hold attention like few other directors can, it's like he rebirths cinema with each of his films

Also the fabelmans! aftersun! tar! women talking! wow!!!!

other things that took up most of my headspace, some new, some resurgences:

music: not strong enough by boygenius, american teenager by ethel cain, on the street by hope feat j.cole (how does bangtan manage to surprise with how good they are every time) 

watching the arctic monkeys and carly rae jepsen concerts via other people’s stories

miss girl bridgers at the time awards

robert f kennedy, the complications of human nature, and the unrelenting attempt at goodness in spite of violence (it’s a long story)

good television! specifically bad sisters (2022) and under the banner of heaven (2022)

“all the light we cannot see” by anthony doerr

“the picture of dorian gray” by oscar wilde

please do forgive me for not being much active on socials! technically i am still banned but a girl can only hold so much. pls pretend this post does not exist (& neither do i) lolz and hope u all have a good week!!

The incomparable Angela Lansbury.

Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury DBE (October 16, 1925 – October 11, 2022) was an Irish-British and American actress and singer. In a career spanning eighty years, she played various roles across film, stage, and television. Although based for much of her life in the United States, her work attracted international attention.

Lansbury is one of few performers who have received nominations for all EGOT awards — Emmy, Grammy, Academy Award (Oscar), and Tony Awards.

Lansbury, an icon in musical theatre, received seven Tony Award nominations winning five awards for Mame in 1966, Dear World in 1969, Gypsy in 1975, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in 1979, and Blithe Spirit in 2009. In 2022 she received the Lifetime Achievement Tony Award. She also earned a Laurence Olivier Award, three Drama Desk Awards, and two Outer Critics Circle Awards.

For her work in film, she earned three Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress for her performances in Gaslight (1944), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945), and The Manchurian Candidate (1962).

In 2013, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Governors voted to bestow upon Lansbury an Honorary Academy Award for her lifetime achievements in the industry. The Oscar statue is inscribed: "To Angela Lansbury, an icon who has created some of cinema's most memorable characters inspiring generations of actors".

She also earned two Golden Globe Awards for The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Manchurian Candidate. She earned a Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year for Beauty and the Beast (1991). For her work in television, she earned 18 Primetime Emmy Award nominations including 12 consecutive nominations for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote (1984-1996). She also received four Golden Globe Awards for Murder, She Wrote. In 1997 she earned a Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, and in 2003 she earned a Britannia Award for Lifetime Achievement in Television and Film.

Lansbury was recognized for her achievements in Britain on multiple occasions. In 2002, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) gave her a Lifetime Achievement Award. She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1994 Birthday Honours, and subsequently was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2014 New Year Honours for services to drama, charitable work, and philanthropy. On being made a dame by Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle, Lansbury stated: "I'm joining a marvelous group of women I greatly admire like Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. It's a lovely thing to be given that nod of approval by your own country and I cherish it."
