But I had a long interview with Sidney, oh, 20 years ago probably. And he said the thing that you have to understand about my father was he didn't care about the Oscar. He didn't care about awards. Those meant nothing to him.

He said my father's image of himself was as a workman, to show up every day and work on the script until it's as good as you can make it, to show up on the set every day until the scene is as good as you can make it. He said it wasn't about awards. It wasn't even about money. It was about being a good workman. putting in your time. He said that's why he hated to go on vacation.

They had eight kids in the house and Una would get restless in the house and the kids would get restless in Charlotte. Let's go to Ireland, let's do this, let's do that. And he really didn't wanna go. He would, grudgingly, but he really wanted to stay and work on whatever his project was. He was a compulsive workman. That was his identity.

But he came back because it was a business deal and he was making a lot of money. And they were going to give him an Academy Award. And ultimately, he was overwhelmed. He was overwhelmed by the response. He was overwhelmed by the love that the audience projected at him for those 12 and 15 minutes compared to the obloquy that he'd had to endure all those years at the end of his Hollywood period.

It's a very moving scene when you watch it on YouTube. Very moving. So it's a closing of a circle. It really was a perfect closing of a circle. He died five years later.

Some moviegoers are already referring to Gladiator 2 and Wicked as this year's Barbenheimer. I believe Glicked is the portmanteau of choice. We'll see if the comparison holds up. Both these lavish spectacles are set to be huge hits, but unlike Barbie and Oppenheimer, they're essentially known quantities, rooted in stories and characters that the audience knows well.

Wicked was adapted from the long-running Broadway musical, which was itself inspired by Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel. But you should know going in that this two-hour and 40-minute movie is just part one, and there will be a year-long intermission before part two.
