RDK Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Very interesting link One more reason for not paying much attention to the Academy Awards circus! Yes, but some very good films have won, so I'm not sure your point... Quote
brownie Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Oh yes, some very good films won but have a quick look at some that did not win (or were not even nominated): - 'City Lights' was not nominated. 'Cimarron' won! - 'Duck Soup' was not nominated. 'Cavalcade' won! - 'Modern Times' was not nominated. 'The Great Ziegfield' won! - 'The Night of the Hunter' was not nominated. 'Marty' won! - 'The Searchers' was not nominated. 'Around the World in 80 Days' won! not to mention: - 'White Heat' was nominated, 'All the King's Men' won! - 'Singin' In The Rain' was nominated. 'The Greatest Show on Earth' won! - 'North By Northwest' was nominated. 'Ben Hur' won! And there are many more... Quote

Completely agree, especially 'Singing In The Rain', a true masterpiece and the finest musical ever made( imo), losing to 'The Greatest Show On Earth'. I wonder how many palms were greased with baksheesh to bring off that result. Quote
Chalupa Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Night of The Hunter and The Sweet Smell of Success didn't get ANY nominations????? Sheesh. Quote
BruceH Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 The Forty-Year Old Virgin didn't even get NOMINATED??????? Quote
