Tom O'Neil replied to the topic NEW DISCUSSION: What changes do you recommend at Gold Derby? in the forum What changes/improvements should Gold Derby make in the future? 1 month, 1 week ago
Actually, a slight clarification: the GoldDerby.com url was active from 2000 to 2005 when I then licensed the site to the LA Times, yes, you’re right, Riley. Then in 2010, I yanked GD back so we could build and launch the prediction functionality, which did not exist earlier. In 2015, we were acquired by PMC.

Tom O'Neil started the topic How should Gold Derby celebrate its 20th anniversary? in the forum General Discussion 2 months ago
Oh, the thrilling ride we’ve had since I launched Gold Derby out of a crude cyber-gate back in 2000! We began just as a primitive internet chat room, then a message board, then I recruited a team of top Oscar experts (Jack Mathews, Thelma Adams, Gene Seymour, Dave Karger, Anne Thompson, Dave Germain, Joel Siegel, Pete Hammond) to predict the…[Read more]

Tom O'Neil started the topic Which Oscar nominees do you think are ridiculously overrated? in the forum Movies 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Shoot me, but I don’t understand all this gushing over Laura Dern’s role in “Marriage Story.” As usual, she’s just portraying Laura Dern … again. Fifty years from now do you really believe that anyone will watch that “performance” and gasp, “Wow! Now THAT’s a great role!”?

Tom O'Neil started the topic You Rank Adam Driver's Best Scenes in 'Marriage Story' in the forum Movies 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Adam’s most memorable moments in “Marriage Story” are certainly 1.) the one where he drops to his knees before Scarlett and 2.) sings “Being Alive”.
But what are others ranked by dramatic impact. Some colleagues are putting together a 15-second clip reel of his MS highlights: Which scenes MUST they include?
