It’s Academy Award time and the votes are in for best female black actor in a male Latino role.  

Meanwhile in the multiplex, chilled by overpriced choc-tops and watching Godzilla versus Kong for the third time, I’m wondering if cinema can ever get better, if by better you mean longer. I don’t want to go all Margaret and David re-enacting the playing chess with Death scene out of The Seventh Seal — with David cast as Death.
