1. Although Glen Close has been nominated six times, she hasn’t won a single Oscar.

2. Despite not being able to sing folk songs, Britan Stone is a famous singer

3. Though some people said the film was terrible, I found it quite gripping.

4. In spite of being a horror film, the film wasn’t frightening at all.

5. Even though the movie had all-star cast, it was a box-office failure

6. Despite having good reviews, the film was entirely ignored by awards bodies.

7. Although I like it a great deal, I will likely never watch it again.
