The 33rd Academy Awards (Films of 1960)

The Oscars Got It Wrong

We're taking a short holiday break in two weeks (so no new episode on 12/22/23). To make up for that this episode is (totally on purpose!) 2.5 hours long. We're covering the 33rd Academy Awards or the films of 1960. The nominees were: The Alamo, The Apartment, Elmer Gantry, Sons and Lovers, and the Sundowners. We also cover non-nominees A Bout de Souffle (Breathless), Inherit the Wind, Psycho, and Spartacus.
