A funny romantic comedy with something important to say. William Hurt is the smooth, handsome, anchorman with the low IQ,  Holly Hunter is the brilliant, driven producer in James L. Brooks’ romantic comedy set in a (typical?) dysfunctional newsroom. Albert Brooks is the talented correspondent who can’t seem to catch a break, either professionally, or romantically. Broadcast News, which chronicles the transformation of television news into entertainment, was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar. The three lead actors were nominated, and James L. Brooks was nominated for the screenplay. With Jack Nicholson.
