Review: Network (1976)

A great and academy award-winning look at corruption and motivation in the media industry

Network is a classic, Academy Award-winning film that came out of the 70s.  I’m a bit too young to recognize many of the names in the movie, but three stood out before I had turned it on: Robert Duvall, Faye Dunaway and William Holden.  This film has quite the pedigree, racking up awards for Best Actress (Dunaway), Best Supporting Actress (Beatrice Straight), Best Actor (Peter Finch) and Best Screenplay.  It also gained several nominations, including Best Director and Best Picture.  With credentials like that, you really can’t go wrong.  And I have to say right off the bat, each and every person involved in this deserves the awards they received.
