Ramblings... reflections... reckonings. As usual the nominations me mean the recognition of some fine films, performances, etc., and the head-scratching over some that were nominated and some that were not and of course the sometimes laughable predictability of Hollywood.

Gloria Grahame
In The Great Movie Stars (St. Martin's Press, 1972), David Shipman refers to her as the best of the 1940's screen floozies. I think he was wrong on the decade (she reigned supreme in the 1950's) but he is spot on with the sentiment. She was usually cast as a tramp, the neighborhood nympho, at least the other woman; sometimes she was a moll, which is a bit apart from the other designations but they could all feast at the table.
