Showtune Sunday: On this Oscar Sunday, enjoy some numbers from 2003 Best Picture winner “Chicago”
The year’s highest-profile musical, Nine, was shut out of most of the major categories with supporting actress nominee Penelope Cruz the highest-profile nominee.
Nine was directed by Rob Marshall who had a lot more luck back in 2003 when his Chicago won best picture and supportive actress for Catherine Zeta-Jones. Marshall himself was nominated for best director and seemed a shoo-in after winning the DGA Award. But Roman Polanski won for The Pianist.
Chicago’s other nominees were Golden Globe and SAG winner Renee Zellweger who lost to Nicole Kidman, Queen Latifah and John C. Reilly. Leading man Richard Gere, a Golden Globe winner for his performance as Billy Flynn, was surprisingly not nominated.
Here are two of my favorite musical numbers from the film: Zeta-Jones doing All that Jazz and Gere singing and dancing Razzle Dazzle.
