The final ten best picture nominees for HBOs most famous series seemed business as usual, with a somewhat inspired choice with Soprano Home Movies nabbing the tenth slot over presumed also-rans like Whoever Did This, Proshai, Livushka and Made in America.
“The latter especially hurts since it was and still is, the most debated television series finale ever.” Claimed New York film critic Andrew Sardis, who had hand picked the sixth season finale along with All Due Respect.
Many grumbled the pilot and Irregular Around the Margins also were snubbed, but there’s no denying the 10 nominees are all top notch. “Pine Barrens won and that’s great, however we expected Long Term Parking was in the bag.” The latter which many consider season 5’s best, did prevail in Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Drea de Matteo as the doomed Adriana La Cerva.
“I think Pine Barrens still takes the edge with its magnificent pacing, cinematography and comedy!” Variety reported on Sunday, August 28th- the day of the nominations and winners. Pine Barrens won 4 Oscars, including best picture, film editing, cinematography and Best Supporting Actor for Tony Sirico as Paulie Gualtieri.
“Sassily his best work on the series. Him and Michael Imperioli had such magnetic chemistry.”
