Apparently in a couple weeks it's going to be one of the movies slotted for private Academy screenings. Out of the top 10 nominated for Best Picture last year, only the Blind Side didn't get screened so it's a good sign they felt it worth showing at something like this. Not saying Secretariat will or won't, but I've been hearing buzz for Diane Lane. Hey, if she just managed to get a nomination, or a Golden Globe nomination, it'll be good for the movie and be good PR for the sport. I wish Baffert's horse (named Haskin of all things) would've been able to be in the movie. Supposedly he's the spitting image of Secretariat. I'd love to see a picture.
I read the review Haskin put on Bloodhorse.com
http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/horse...ig-screen.aspx I think I'll be aware of the flaws, but I also don't think I'll get too bent out of shape about it. I'm a little sad there's no Riva, but they haven't managed to make Sham 18 hands so at least there's that right?
