20 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Friday, October 21, 1994:<\/em> Following early-bird reviews by The New York Times<\/span>‘ Caryn James<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and The Los Angeles Times<\/span>‘ Kenneth Turan<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, The Chicago Sun-Times<\/span><\/strong> would print Roger Ebert<\/strong>\u2019s ecstatic vote of confidence<\/span><\/a> in the documentary HOOP DREAMS<\/strong>, a Chicago<\/strong>-based production about two inner-city high school students banking on college basketball careers as a step towards the proverbial \u201cway out.\u201d His persistent support of this film famously hit a crescendo when the movie critic cried foul over the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences<\/strong> overlooking it in both<\/em> the \u201cbest picture\u201d and \u201cbest documentary\u201d Oscar<\/strong> categories. HOOP DREAMS<\/strong> director Steve James<\/strong> would ultimately return the favor with his work on the Ebert documentary LIFE ITSELF<\/strong>, currently in release.<\/p>\n
