Goodbye, Maggie Smith (1934-2024) - Blog - The Film Experience
Sep 27, 2024 · Dame Maggie Smith has no equal. She is truly one of a kind that will never be seen ever again. I think I first saw her in Hook (terrible film BTW but she's great in it) . Then I got to see more of her work in The First Wives Club and some of the films she was doing in the 90s. It was as Professor Minerva McGonnagal where she just kicked ass.

"Dune: Part Two" does well with the WGA and VES
Jan 16, 2025 · Mr Ripley79: If you mean WGA, The Substance wasn't snubbed there, because it wasn't eligible. If you mean DGA, well, that does show that it's not one of the top five contenders for Best Picture, but it did show up at the PGA list (which was just announced), so I think it should be fine (though I also wouldn't be surprised if it fell off at the last minute, sadly)...
