I'd like to thank the Academy . . .
In the tradition of Stephen Colbert, it's clear that Lady Eve owes much to my entry and her win. She only hopes for more moments like that for future awards. She has received that very recognizable Auiler Bump. Thank you, denizens of Vertigo Falls for making your thunderous voices heard . . .
At this point, M'Lady better be laughing or I've just accrued another restraint warrant and a new area of the map to deep six for vacations. I'm sure Kurdistan is great for most traveling any time of the year, as that is about all I have left that is not legally troubled.
So big congrats, M'Lady--a fine site, a great blog series from the only real Lady on line.
Oh, PS, just got a quick post from Kurdistan. (sigh) I guess this year it will Christmas here in good ol' Long Beach, CA.
Gotta run, looks like the LB Chamber of Commerce is on the phone. What could they want?
The Lady Eve's Reel Life: Many Thanks
This award would never have come my way if not for the incredible contributions of the superb guest bloggers who joined me in celebrating Hitchcock's great masterwork (now, according to Sight and Sound, the best film ever). I owe a special debt of gratitude to Brandon Kyle Goco (of Brandon Kyle the Cinephile) who created this wonderful teaser/promo as the event prepared to launch:
I'd like to again thank each of the bloggers who participated - this award belongs them as much as it does to The Lady Eve:
R.D. Finch of The Movie Projector, who kicked off "A Month of Vertigo" on January 1, 2012 with "Deadly Obsession: Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo," a reflection on the film's structure and themes.
Whistlingypsy of Distant Voices and Flickering Shadows who offered her contemplation of "Bernard Herrmann ~ Composer of Haunting Music and Treacherous Dreams."
Blogger and author Christian Esquevin (Silver Screen Modiste is his blog, Adrian: Silver Screen to Custom Label is his book) who explored "The Costumes of Vertigo."
Brandie Ashe of True Classics, who assessed Kim Novak's greatest role and performance with "Kim Novak in Vertigo: A Hypnotic Presence."
Michael Nazarewycz of Scribe Hard on Film, who considered the film's iconic setting with "More Than Just the Streets of San Francisco."
Author Steven DeRosa (Writing with Hitchcock), expert on the Hitchcock screenwriters and screenplays, who explored the story behind Samuel Taylor's best known screenplay with "An Inconsequential Yarn."
John Greco of Twenty Four Frames, who had recently interviewed award-winning biographer Patrick McGilligan about his new Nicholas Ray bio - and interviewed him again for our event on the subject Alfred Hitchcock, about whom McGilligan had written a 2004 biography, and Vertigo.
Allen Hefner of Bit Part Actors, a man who knows his supporting players well, who took a closer look at some of the film's unsung character actors (and more) with Vertigo, The Bit Players.
Brian/Classicfilmboy of Classicfilmboy's Movie Paradise, who examined one of James Stewart's greatest performances with "James Stewart: A Walk on the Dark Side."
Brandon Kyle Goco who contributed not only the promo but also the vlog (video blog), "Vertigo: Alfred Hitchcock's Edifice to Obsession."
Vertigo authority Dan Auiler, author of the definitive VERTIGO: The Making of a Hitchcock Classic, who wrote of the film's mesmerizing impact with "Vertigofor Life."
Joel Gunz aka/the Alfred Hitchcock Geek, who meditated upon one moment of the film with "Hitchcock's Most Beautiful Shot Ever; Or, A Single Frame So Good, 2,000 Words Don't Do it Justice."(My own contribution, "A Month of Vertigo, The Final Chapter," contemplated the transformation of a genre novel into a cinematic work of art.)
Boundless thanks to the members of CMBA for honoring the blog event, the contributors and Vertigo with this deeply appreciated award.

Dan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the 'bump' - and for the inspiration. I've mentioned this before, but it was learning more about "D’entre les morts" and its authors in your book that prompted me to read the novel (English translation) - and that led to the idea of hosting "A Month of Vertigo."
