I gotta say, to quote one of my producers (Fach) "It was nice to finally see him invited to the party."
I don't know when the last time was that somebody got special treatment like that during the telecast, and I'm sure it was an immensely special moment for his family that was there.
I was sorta hoping that instead of just an assembly of clips, that the segment's producers would have tapped into some of the things we weren't able to cover, but nonetheless, I feel like the cast of his films and the Oscars itself did a proper send off to him.
We are very humbled to have stumbled across this posting, comparing our film to the tribute.

I loved Molly and Matthew's tribute to John.
ReplyDeleteIt was great seeing the other actor's on stage as well as the two hosts(Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin) who were also in Hughes' films.
I am sure there were a lot of actors at the ceremony who were part of a John Hughes production.
What is safe to say is that while Hughes' work has never won an Oscar, his films have had more of an impact on a Generation, specifically on on teenagers, than any other writer or director in the modern age.
While there is a great body of his work for people to appreciate, John Hughes' "voice" will always be missed.
RIP
I thought it was awesome. I was so glad that even Judd was up there. His films were truly amazing and I am glad he was recognized.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more
Having not heard anything about the tribute beforehand, I was pleasantly surprised by it. I'm hopeful that the moment sparked a curiosity in more than a few younger viewers whom have yet to discover such honest films.
