"David Puttnam asked me to write this and gave me $5000 to do so, and I was frightened by it. I delayed and delayed for about a year, and Puttnam got pissed off and went away, and then I wrote it"-Bob Ellis, on the birth of his script, The Nostradamus Kid
The predicted winning sweep for A Star is Born did not eventuate. Instead, a cocktail of Queens (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Favourite); a power-hungry VP (Vice); a sublimated Wife (The Wife); a racially discriminated against artist (Green Book). But Lady Gaga did not leave empty handed. Wearing a stunning lilac gown with a train and looking every bit the queen, she rightfully claimed the award for her song, Shallow.
