Oscars/Hollywood/Magnin

There are far too many things I want to post about this Magnin reading and the Oscars, so here are just a few highlights:

1) A letter to Rabbi Magnin from Cecil B. DeMille. He had awesome friends.




2) Son of Saul won Best Foreign Language Film. Here's an excellent Fresh Air podcast with the Director and star of the film.

3) A few articles about this year's Oscars and the deep Jewish connections to the industry and the awards.

4) Would definitely be interested to talk more about the underlying current of race in Hollywood that permeated this year's ceremony. If you haven't watched Chris Rock's monologue, I highly recommend it.
