The Oscars Got It Wrong

We’re back for season 3! There were 12 nominees at the 8th Academy Award, so we thought, "what the heck, let's add 4 more," to make this one of our 16 movie tournaments. We discuss the losers from Round 1 in this episode.

The nominees were: Alice Adams; Broadway Melody of 1936; Captain Blood; David Copperfield; The Informer; The Lives of a Bengal Lancer; A Midsummer Night's Dream; Mutiny on the Bounty; Les Misérables; Naughty Marietta; Ruggles of Red Gap; Top Hat

The films we added were: The 39 Steps, A Night at the Opera, Black Fury, and The Bride of Frankenstein.
