Remembering Robert Altman


A few days ago, Hollywood lost a legend, Robert Altman. The legendary director who made films such as MASH, Nashville, The Player, A Prairie Home Companion, Short Cuts, and Gosford Park, was 81. He was a five time Academy Award nominee for Best Direcotr, and at this past years awards ceremony he receieved an honory award for being a pioneering filmmaker and an amazing director. He was known for having large ensamble casts, and overlapping dialogue. In 2002 he won the Golden Globe for Best Director, for Gosford Park. Altman will truly be missed by the filmmaking industry, and his last project has already come to hault, because it is doubted that any other filmmaker would be able to make the film, Hands on a Hard Body.
