USC Wins Three Oscars!

USC won an earl Oscar tonight as Sam A. Davis won in the Best Live Action Short Film catergory for “The Singers.” Davis is a graduate of the USC Cinema School.

And another Trojan, Ludwig Göransson, won for Best Score for ‘Sinners.” It’s his third Oscar victory.

And it’s a hat trick for USC as Ryan Coogler won for Best Screenplay for “Sinners.”

It’s a good time to point out USC quarterbacks have now won a Super Bowl and an Oscar.
Cotton Warburton won an Oscar for best editing in 1965 as the film editor for “Mary Poppins.”

  • USC women’s basketball will play Clemson on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Columbia, S.C.. If the Trojans win, they play No. 1-seeded South Carolina

  1. It’ll be an early exit for our ladies.

    “Sinners” won an Oscar, too. Director, Ryan Coogler, is a USC graduate as is the composer of the score, Ludwig Goranssan.

  2. Thanks, Scott. The USC School of Cinema is a national treasure. The amazing campus that we have today started as a wooden barracks building near the corner of Coliseum and Vermont. Dr. Kantor was the dean who inspired its growth. And, congratulations to the women’s basketball team for their ninth seed in the tournament. At least one BB coach played through adversity. Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962

    1. Ed sounds like a Bernie Sanders voter. Bernie with his three homes, luxury cars, and flights in private jets can truly related to people like Ed.

  3. Figures a trOxan had to be behind Mary Poppins, the sissiest of sissy movies.

    meanwhile any real discussion of cinema begins and ends with Bruin Francis Ford Coppola. period. hard stop.

    and if we’re bragging about composers, maybe you’ve heard of the greatest film composer of all time, Bruin John Williams???

    Poor trOJies, can’t even enjoy the little victories without getting shut down, (chortle)
