As is the Friday
tradition, tonight’s episode of The
Independents (Fox Business Network 9 pm ET, 6 pm PT, with
repeats three hours later) is organized around a theme: In this
case, in honor of Sunday’s 86th annual Academy Awards, we present
our “Grouchy Oscars,” a list of best and worst movies,
performances, and historical Oscar picks. Helping out is an
all-star panel of outstanding movie reviewers—the New York
Post’s Kyle
Smith, and Reason.com’s own Kurt Loder.
Also on the program is beloved former Reason editor Virginia
Postrel, who will be talking about the intersection between
Hollywood and the subject of her book
The Power of Glamour: Longing and the Art of Visual
Persuasion. Also, producer-author Lynda Obst will talk
about her business-model book,
Sleepless in Hollywood: Tales from the New Abnormal in the Movie
Business. And yes, we’ll be talking about
Hollywood subsidies.
