Did The Brattle Theatre have a minor Oscars premonition?
A rare tie occurred at the 98th annual Academy Awards held last night in Hollywood, splitting the prize for Best Live-Action Short between “The Singers” and “Two People Exchanging Saliva.” It’s just the seventh such occurrence in nearly a century, and a nearly unthinkable result with around 10,000 voting members of the Academy.
Just hours earlier The Brattle had wrapped up a screening of Katharine Hepburn’s “The Lion In Winter” (1968), part of its “Kate the Great: Oscar’s Favorite Actress” series, running through Tuesday. For her role in the 12th century “palace intrigue” drama, Hepburn tied for Best Actress with Barbra Streisand (“Funny Girl”).
Coincidence or foresight? The arthouse cinema in Harvard Square should get into the Oscar prediction business …
You can catch an additional screening of “The Lion In Winter” tonight at The Brattle. The Hepburn retrospective continues through Tuesday with “The Philadelphia Story” and “Bringing Up Baby,” spotlighting the stylish and versatile star from old Hollywood.
Other notable winners at this year’s Oscars included “One Battle After Another” for Best Picture, Jessie Buckley (“Hamnet”) for Best Actress and Michael B. Jordan (“Sinners”) for Best Actor.
