Truth be told, I’m not crazy about Oscar night. The shoes pinch. Security’s a bother. All the red-carpet nattering unnerves me.
And watching at home isn’t much better. Who really wants to turn on the television at 5 — oops, make that 4 — o’clock on an almost spring Sunday afternoon? I’d rather barbecue some chicken.
But the morning after, one week from today, that’s another story. In fact, Oscar Monday is pretty much my favorite day in the whole movie year. Since I started covering Hollywood 40 years ago, I have always loved that day. If it were up to me, it would be an official holiday. They could call it something fancy, the Feast of the Eternal Reboot, something like that.
Anyway, it’s always fun. For starters, you’ve got the second-guessing, and who doesn’t enjoy that? It’s better than cocoa and cookies on Christmas.

An event brimming with late-arriving projects gave buyers plenty to consider and the mood was buoyant following what some had cited as the least productive AFM in decades last October.
“People had had a bit of a disappointing AFM in so many different ways, and everyone was ready,” said Ella Field, EVP of international sales at the UK’s Signature Entertainment, who described EFM as the most cost-effective market of the year. “Where there are great films,...
