It’s great to hear from Roger Ebert, who has this message at RogerEbert.com:
It’s been some time since I checked in to let you know how I’m doing. I had hoped to be back in my seat in the balcony alongside my partner Richard Roeper, but the surgeons tell me they will have to take a staged, multi-phased approach to getting me back in shape. To borrow from the Chicago Bears, we tried for the long pass, but now we’re going for a series of shorter passes until we score a touchdown.
Although I won’t be able to conduct my red carpet interviews at the Academy Awards, I plan to conduct my “Outguess Ebert” contest in the Sun-Times, and I intend to work with WLS/ABC 7 to make my predictions for the Oscars. In fact, I am eagerly awaiting watching the Academy Awards like a regular spectator for the first time. And Richard and the guest hosts will carry on our tradition on “Ebert & Roeper” of telling who they think should win.
