2006 actually. It opened in December. The politicking on the show these days isn't nearly what it was in the 1970s with Redgrave and Brando. There's really not that much of it.
Oh, so BM is up for awards this year? Well, at least there's one bright spot to all of this........we don't have to listen to this fever pitch of publicity for this piece of trash for the entire year of 2006.
I don't know much about the politicking back in the 70's as I was too young to remember, so more recent years is all I have to go on. Heck, as ruthless as things are now on the broadcast, I can't imagine it being any worse in the 70's!
