Annie Hall – Let's Go To The Movies

Super sad news that has broken in the last half hour that actress Diane Keaton has passed away at the age of 79. An Oscar winning actress for her role in Annie Hall, was also nominated on three other occasions for Reds, Marvin’s Room and Something’s Gotta Give.

She had a truly incredible career in film, starring across many different genres. Including The Godfather trilogy and Manhattan. My favourites include Father of the Bride and The First Wives Club, as they give me happy memories.

Thoughts go out to her family and friends ❤️

I am getting increasingly sad about how big the number is getting. 32 today!!!!!!!!

So for my birthday post today I decided to take a look at who managed to win an Oscar at the age of 32!

Helen Hayes (The Sin of Madelyn Claudet)
Jane Wyman (Johnny Belinda)
Diane Keaton (Annie Hall)

James Stewart (The Philadelphia Story)
Daniel Day-Lewis (My Left Foot)
Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas)
Van Heflin (Johnny Eager)

Directors
Norman Taurog (Skippy)
Damien Chazelle (La La Land)

Something I found rather interesting when it came to putting this post together was that the majority of Oscar winners were a lot older particularly when it came to the male categories. Also in terms of the films above I have actually only watched one of them and it has to be one of my all time favourites*! Maybe I should make it a task to find and watch the rest of them over the next year.

Anyway HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

*La La Land

These films must be on my to see list! But I want your opinions on whether they are worthy of wining the Best Picture Oscar? Let me know if they are must see’s or not!
