I would say 58. And I've only seen 2 Oscar nominated films, before the Oscars, because my wife wanted to. One was "Ford vs. Ferrari", which was a really good movie, and what I thought was going to be a full blown war movie, but was not. It was called "1917", I think.
Cher with Eric Stoltz, and Sam Elliott in Mask was the last one I fully watched. For best makeup. How many years ago was that? Geez, 37 years ago. Willam Hurt (rest-in-peace) won Best Actor for Kiss of the Spider Woman. Geraldine Page (rest-in-peace) won Best Actress for The Trip to the Bountiful. How crazy is that?
