The backstory on Streisand was that she was also overlooked for an Oscar nomination for the movie “The Mirror has 2 Faces” which she directed and starred in - but she declined to sing the movie’s song “I finally found someone” and instead asked Natalie Cole to sing it. Natalie got sick last minute so Celine Dion stepped in last minute to sing it but Barbara was notoriously in the bathroom during the performance. When Billy Crystal introduced Celine, he thanked her for stepping in last minute. So the introduction to Madonna as a “class act” , followed by the camera panning to Streisand was not about Madonna but Billy throwing some shade at Barbara - who clearly got the point.

I went to the LA premier of EVITA and I met Madonna. I was 17 at the time. Also the song You Must Love Me won best song at the Oscar’s Don’t Cry For me was not nominated because it’s from the original stage production of the play. The Alan Parker film had a You Must Love Me which was made for the film. Madonna won best actress at the Golden Globes and her winning should have been in this pack of videos.

You Must Love was actually the only song composed specifically for the movie version of the musical, so it could get an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. It got the nomination and that's why Madonna performed it at the Oscars. Don't Cry was the big hit though.

The story will the Guilty by Association cover is that a stalker called Robert Hoskins broke into her L.A. garden. He was arrested and the case went to court. M was served a summons to appear as a witness. She said that she would not attend court because that would just give him what he wanted. To be in the same room as her. The judge said that if she didn't attend court then she would be arrested. She appeared as a witness and because she was so upset afterwards her sister Melanie said that she was to come to her house. Joe Henry told her the song he was covering just reflected what she had been through. While she was still reeling from her court appearance he put her in the studio and recorded her. ❤❤

She is the only hour long guest and Madonna is at her most open, funny and forthcoming. You need to watch the whole interview without edits, maybe in two videos? You absolutely don’t want to skip it.❤😊

It’s wild looking back at this era bc it’s a bridge Btwn the first wave of her stardom and the 2nd. 1998s Ray of Light was earth shatteringly epic, critically acclaimed like she had never been before and reinvigorated her pop career in a way she hadn’t been looked at since the Vogue era. It brought the casual fans back.

Her accepting that Billboard award, just wow. It is in my opinion one of the most moving award acceptance speeches she has made. The audience was in tears and so am I, so am I I’m telling you. That recap at the beginning I’m sure brought so much memories, her music has been such a big part of so many people’s lives that no wonder they had tears in their eyes. I consider her and her music as part of my history, part of me growing up. And I guess that is the case with a lot of people who were in that audience that night. So emotional and on point. And, when you had tears in your eyes, that was it. Cried like a baby here.

NO GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS??? RYYYYAAAAN!! Every time! 🤣 The film won three Golden Globes, including Best Picture (Musical/Comedy), Best Actress, and Best Song. As others have already mentioned, Billy was saying that Madonna herself was snubbed for Best Actress at the Oscars. The film itself was nominated for Best Song, Editing, Cinematography, Sound, and Art Direction. Not too shabby, but M definitely deserved a nomination. She probably would have gotten one today, but they were much more conservative back then. The film was a moderate success at the box office, so I think she and the studio were pretty happy. It was a tough sell in 1996, but it revived her acting career... of course, she squandered that with terrible film choices and then quit acting altogether. Chicago was going to happen with M as Roxie but it fell through. Womp, womp.

Every “era” is under an hour for me to fit stuff in when I send it to Benn. Patience is required. Each section of her career has many hours of content. I won’t get everything but just because one mini era does not have something does not mean it is not coming. For me to complete one total era of Madonna in a single month would cost me $400-$500. I can’t afford to do that. Patience please.

Levon is also a folk musician.
