The Hard, but Loving Work of Uniting America
Dear Editor:
My love for Lincoln goes beyond the fact that I was born on his birthday; though that certainly did help. My childhood viewings of Henry Fonda in “Young Mr. Lincoln” (1940) were, for me, like sacred civic encounters. Mini lessons in the American spirit at its best.
I wish Joe Biden well in his effort to unite America. With his unique combination of qualities, in particular empathy, experience, and resoluteness, I believe he’s the “right man at the right time” for this herculean task. His hopeful, optimistic spirit won’t hurt. Don’t believe me? Pop into Bennie Tudino’s Pizza some time (for a big delicious slice) and check out the wonderful photo of smiling uncle Joe: beaming happiness.

While some of the Academy Award-winners were predictable, there were a few that were not expected to take home the golden trophy. Here are our reactions to the major winners.
Best Picture: Nomadland
No surprise here as “Nomadland” wins best picture. Chloé Zhao’s film has almost completely swept awards season as the movie has won best picture at every major award show except for the Screen Actors Guild Awards. This marks the second Oscar win of the night for Zhao and the third overall Oscar for Frances McDormand as a producer, who won best actress for the film. Zhao became the second woman to direct a best picture winner after Kathryn Bigelow for the 2009 film “The Hurt Locker.”
