“James Ivory's talent is timeless – why did it take the Oscars so long...”

Because he wasn’t wearing rad tchalamet shirt before ��

;-) This is amusing to think about because he made around 20 of his films (including the best-known/most successful) before Timmy was actually born.

Timmy is the latest in a very long line of actors to benefit from Ivory’s talent and (in his own films as director) his amazing taste in talent-spotting. I was going to list some of the names who were discovered, or got their first break, in Merchant and Ivory’s films, but there are so many: Thandie Newton, Christopher Walken, Helena Bonham Carter, Rupert Graves, Julian Sands, Daniel Day Lewis, James Wilby, Hugh Grant ... and Greta Scacchi, who Ivory really wanted to re-cast as Annella in CMBYN.
