HOLLYWOOD—Last week it was all about Best Supporting Actor, this week it is all about Best Supporting Actress, and I think this race might be the biggest lock of all the categories for me.

HOLLYWOOD—There are movies that can be depressing, and then there are movies that are downright depressing as hell. It has been a while since I’ve witnessed a movie that just delivered blow after blow after blow to the audience. The wrestling drama “The Iron Claw” is one of those flicks. The drama tells the story of the Von Erich...
