Q and A

The event at the Grove will feature a Q and A session moderated by KCBS-TV sports director Jim Hill.

He greeted the crowd and soon joined Mr. Krinsky for a Q. and A. that the chief executive figured would be light and breezy.

Old-fashioned word of mouth is credited for the film's longevity and financial success, as well as the filmmakers taking the film on to regional towns and cities and holding extensive Q and A sessions alongside the film.

"A lot of men felt able to speak up in the Q and A sessions afterwards, and share their own stories, which I often found really moving."

A monthslong Oscar campaign can be more arduous than people realize: a pileup of Q. and A.s, wardrobe fittings, round tables, photo shoots, interviews, red carpets, ceremonies, movie premieres, cocktail parties and festival appearances that demand always-on levels of poise and adrenaline.
