Description

Starting in 1953, the first year the Oscars were broadcast on television, we randomly select a merit award category winner, watch the film, then talk about why it won that award. But that's not all, this is our Oscars! We also randomly select three other categories, and decide if that film could have won those awards as well.

A film by a great director, which changed the way movies are made for years to come, but you can tell it was written by the director and he desperately needed an editor. Not to be confused with Avatar, the film by a great director, which changed...hey, wait a minute!
