\nThe Lifetime Achievement Oscar ceremony is happening this Saturday, November 14th. The honorees for Honorary Awards are Spike Lee, Debbie Reynolds, and Gena Rowlands. If you’ve been following along, then you know my involvement in this whole thing, an experience which has been so over-the-top I couldn’t have dreamed it up if I tried. <\/p>\n

It is unbelievably gratifying to see Gena Rowlands everywhere<\/i> right now. It’s kind of like Hamilton<\/i> suddenly being on Broadway, after decades of lonely Alexander Hamilton fandom<\/a>. I now live in a world where Alexander Hamilton is trending on Twitter on a daily basis? After dealing with ignorant “who cares another dead white male” eyerolls for decades? Thank God I stuck around this long to see it. So seeing headlines with Gena Rowlands’ name everywhere is so beautiful! Nobody deserves it more. <\/p>\n

In the lead-up to the ceremony, each honoree was interviewed for AMPAS, and the videos have now been launched. The topic: What Movies Mean to Me. <\/p>\n
