Nice pick! Slim pickins in the Golden age for great actresses IMO.

Lathum · 03-02-2010, 08:55 AM

Given the demographics of this board I am thriled Lucas was still around at 6

wade moore · 03-02-2010, 08:58 AM

I think Hepburn is a great value pick.

I think, because of the demographics of this board, that Lucas could bite you in the end - but I'm not sure. Some people (I'm not one of them) have a real hatred for what he did with episodes 1-3.

Noop · 03-02-2010, 08:58 AM

I hate all of you for not including me.

CrimsonFox · 03-02-2010, 09:00 AM

I'm approaching my squad from a different standpoint. And the guy produced Star Wars and Raiders. what more could you want. Plus Howard the Duck, c'mon!

Oooooh Lea Thompson and Chip Zien! (whose only other credit I know of is the Baker in the Broadway version of Into the Woods)

Yeah, cause having the most Best Director academy awards of all time is bad.

I think if you have a guy people have to go look up you are hurting yourself. PEople aren't going to take the time to do that when voting.

That's really the reason why I didn't take him with my pick.

Mustang · 03-02-2010, 09:47 AM

My pick will be up shortly

Mustang · 03-02-2010, 10:00 AM

If I'm starting a movie studio, I want to make cash so...

1.8 : James Cameron, Director

Lathum · 03-02-2010, 10:02 AM

I almost took Cameron, thought he may slip. FWIW Mustang has a similar philosophy that I do. That's why I took Lucas. He made billions from the star wars technology and everything that spun off from it.

ntndeacon · 03-02-2010, 11:08 AM

I had played with picking both Spielberg and Stewart. It saddens me that they boh are gone. but does not surprise me.

Izulde · 03-02-2010, 11:22 AM

okay I'm here. Just woke up. Give me a second.

Izulde · 03-02-2010, 11:31 AM

1.9 Humphrey Bogart - Lead Actor (Golden Age)

One of the greatest and most famous actors in history, many of his lines have entered in the American cultural lexicon, particularly from Casablanca. Others of his hits include The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and The African Queen, the last the only one he won an Academy Award for Best Lead Actor. He appeared in 75 films throughout his career.

Mustang · 03-02-2010, 11:31 AM

Izulde's first pick is Sleeping Beauty...

DrAFTjunkie · 03-02-2010, 12:13 PM

1.10- Bette Davis, Lead Actress (Golden Age)

Eleven Oscar Nominations for Best Actress with two wins. Almost wrote Bette Midler, which would've been disastrous. Aside from the producer category, the actress category seems to be the thinnest, which leads to my next pick.

2.1- Merryl Streep, Lead Actress

Sixteen Oscar Nominations with two wins. As I said, the actress category is quite thin comparatively speaking, so I decided to load up while I still can. As far as Oscar nominations go, Streep and Davis are #1 and #3 all time.

Izulde · 03-02-2010, 12:21 PM

2.2 Audrey Hepburn - Lead Actress (Golden Age)

Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday are her two most well-known films. Even today, she represents a quietly elegant, high-class beauty that presents a startling contrast to certain, more aggressive actresses. Won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Roman Holiday and received several other award nominations.

Has to be my pick I assume?

Mustang · 03-02-2010, 12:33 PM

My movie studio isn't gonna make no damn girly movies.

Pick 2.3: John Wayne, Lead Actor (Golden Age)

Izulde · 03-02-2010, 12:35 PM

Uh, Abe?

Audrey Hepburn's a Golden Age pick.

Lathum · 03-02-2010, 12:39 PM

I should be around in an hour or so to make my pick if crimson gets gis in.

Timestamp on this is 1:33, so CrimsonFox has until 7:33, still a couple of hours to go.

Lathum · 03-02-2010, 04:55 PM

Do we always do 6 hour clocks? 2 hours was sticking in my mind for some reason

ntndeacon · 03-02-2010, 05:17 PM

when does the clock stop for the night?

jbergey22 · 03-02-2010, 06:27 PM

After CF picks. It shouldnt be a long wait for your pick ntn as Im guessing Lathum wont take long to get his in.

Abe Sargent · 03-02-2010, 06:44 PM

CF has not made his pick as of 7:43, he is skipped. Lathum is on the clock.

Abe Sargent · 03-02-2010, 06:46 PM

CrimsonFox may make a selection whenever, but for now the draft continues.

ntndeacon · 03-02-2010, 06:54 PM
