I went through all of the above, just assuming that it meant that Gene Hackman had just died. But can't find any mention that he HAS died. You might want to insert that you are paying tribute to someone still living. Just a thought.
I'll always remember Hackman in "The Conversation," and his chilly performances in both "No Way Out" and "The Firm," although I missed the humor in what he did in the "Superman" movies! And what about "The French Connection"?
But, forgive me, neotrinity, but why the John Barry album cover and the text about him? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with your tribute to actor Gene Hackman AND "The Unforgiven."

Ron, we never include ANYthing without it being connected - nor do we spell out what and why (that insulting Socratic syde of us, no doubt).
Still, if you really re-read the paragraph in question, it states outright the advance intuition that both artists' work was gonna be royally recognized by the Academy that next spring.
Not the first tyme that's happened with us. During our royal reviewing days on one of the two major trade papers here in Hollywood, we also happened to forecast Meryl Streep & Michael Moriarity's performances in "Holocaust" as potentially Emmy-worthy - which they were.
[ Occupational hazard from actually having been on the performing, directing and producing end ... but we obsess ].
We'll try to tone down those utterly arcane hard-to-fathom puzzlements from us in the future ...

I still don't understand the connection, "John Barry Scores The Middle Ages" and Hackman and "Unforgiven," but I guess you're saying (or writing) that John Barry and Gene Hackman were both about to be recognized by the Academy. So you could have thrown in a picture of the winner of best costume design that year and considered that sufficient connection to Hackman too? I GUESS I see where you're coming from; so the year that Hackman won for "Unforgiven," for which movie did Barry win? I only see that he scored "Chaplin" the same year as "Unforgiven," so he must have won for that one, right? Didn't realize he won that year, but I guess I'm finally able to understand your juxtaposition of John Barry and Gene Hackman. Really not trying to give you a hard time -- just struggling to understand the connection. Thank you.
