...were nominated for a Best Actor Oscar alongside Sidney Poitier for The Defiant Ones. Are you peeved that you never got more respect from the Academy?There were other pictures I made-I don't want to complain-but I feel in my heart that there were other performances I gave that could have easily been nominated. And now that won't ever happen. I'm not doing any movies, and I'm not going to find a movie that's going to be nominated for any awards. So, my dear friends, I sit around in Vegas, with a beautiful...
...success: continually tweaking the firm's game to fit the times, the markets, the opportunities and Goldman's talent--managing partners like the brilliant and charming seventh-grade dropout from Brooklyn, Sidney Weinberg (a.k.a. "Mr. Wall Street"); the worldly, turbocharged Gus Levy; and John Whitehead, whose prescience helped shape the firm into a master of the financial universe in the 1980s.

...Every day, OneSeason rolls out IPOs of new players, which now includes everyone from Kobe Bryant to Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler. (Saturday hockey star Sidney Crosby debuts!) Each IPO is priced at $5 per share, and after that, the share price is determined by basic supply and demand. Fantasy sports enthusiasts, who are used to obsessing over player stats, may be surprised to find that prices aren't tied to specific performance criteria - touchdowns, home runs, rebounds. So if Peyton Manning throws five touchdown passes on Sunday, his price won't automatically shoot...
...Demme's new film, Rachel Getting Married, is arguably an attempt on the part of the director to wend his way back to his roots. It's a small-scale comedy, written by Jenny Lumet (daughter of Sidney Lumet), in which a smugly PC family gathers to celebrate the wedding of their perfectly beautiful, perfectly balanced daughter, played by Rosemarie DeWitt. This is not just a wedding, however; it is also a sociopolitical statement, for the groom is a handsome black man, scion of a family that is far more conventional and bourgeois than the bride's family, and especially...
