As I write this column, I am hoping that my friend Sam Rockwell wins the Academy Award for best supporting actor for “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”. He won the Golden Globe and the SAG award so he is a lock for this one. If you’re playing the Oscar pool game
at your party other for sure winners are Allison Janney for best supporting actress for “I, Tonya” and Frances McDormand for best actress for “Three Bill- boards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and Gary Oldman for best actor for “The Darkest Hour”. You still have time to see these movies at the Summer eld and Rialto. Speaking of the Rialto, they are hosting the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival again this year March 22 through 25. The documentary to see this year is “Bombshell: the Hedy Lamarr Story”. It shows March 25 at 145pm at the Rialto. Call 707 829 4797 for more information..
The Sonoma International Film Festival runs from March 21 through 25. The closing night lm is the
