THIS WEEK ON THE 4:30 MOVIE, the below-the-line must be drawn here and no further for "THE CATEGORIES OSCAR FORGOT WEEK" as we fete the craftspeople the Academy won't as we curate a week of Oscar nominees in the categories of BEST EDITING, BEST MAKE-UP & HAIRSTYLING, BEST SCORE, BEST SOUND and BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN to rectify the infuriating and short-sighted decision to give these categories the high hat by banishing their live presentation to the ABC pre-show. As always, your favorite co-hosts (and caped crusaders) are back including MARK A. ALTMAN (showrunner, PANDORA, author, THE SECRETS OF THE FORCE, THE FIFTY-YEAR MISSION, THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED HIS DOG), STEVEN MELCHING (writer, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, THE CLONE WARS, REBELS), ASHLEY E. MILLER (showrunner; DOTA: DRAGON'S BLOOD; writer, THOR, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS) and DAREN R. DOCHTERMAN (concept designer; WESTWORLD, MASTER & COMMANDER). NEXT WEEK: It's GET TO THE CHOPPER NOW WEEK as we curate an all-new fantasy theme week devoted to the films of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
