Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode correctly shows that Marlon Brando did not attend the 1973 Academy Awards, but mistakenly includes Anthony Ippolito as Al Pacino (screen right, next to Robert Evans (Matthew Goode)). Both Brando and Pacino boycotted the Oscars that year: Brando sent Sacheen Littlefeather (played here by an uncredited actress) in his place to make a political speech against Hollywood's portrayal of Native Americans and to draw attention to the standoff at Wounded Knee; Pacino boycotted as a protest for being nominated for "Best Supporting Actor", even though he had more screen time in the film than Brando (who was nominated for Best Actor).
- GoofsIn the shot where Ruddy wins the Oscar (in 1973) a cameraman is visible in the foreground wearing a Covid mask.

Featured review
The Longest Yard
I had forgotten that the Oscars snubbed Coppola for Best Director. Absurd. Also, they made a big deal of playing up Ruddy's independence in turning down 'The Godfather: Part Two' for 'The Longest Yard.' Well, there's being independent and then there's abject stupidity. Many people think the sequel is better than the original, although I give the nod to The Godfather, not Part Two, but to walk away from that to do a successful and popular comedy was walking away from history and back-to-back Oscars. Evans told him, do that movie later. Evans was right.
Speaking of Evans, Matthew Goode just grabbed that character by the stones and dominated the series. I enjoyed this series immensely.
