Question: Is anybody other than me enjoying this daily edition of the Katie-Bar-The-Door Awards?
I ask because come Friday I can either keep going with the 1970s, or I can stop and begin promoting Monty's March Madness Best Actress Tournament—the Monkey is hosting the Silent Era/1930s bracket (with voting to begin on March 5).
Either way, you will get a daily dose of your favorite stars' photos. They'll just either have names like Jane Fonda, Gene Hackman and Al Pacino, or Mary Pickford, Carole Lombard and Irene Dunne.
It's up to you.

It's been a lot of fun, but I don't go for those 70's movies.
I kind of miss Mary and the gang. : )
I think you're obligated to finish now.
We've been going at this for what seems to be weeks, and I'm almost there. You can't pull out now!
The Party: Bir-dee num-num. . . .

You're in luck, Thingy -- the editor of Sharpologist has asked for another post, so I'll be working on that in lieu of Katie Awards for a while.
What -- you're just going to leave me here, hanging? Unfulfilled?
You Monkeys are so selfish
What -- you're just going to leave me here, hanging?
You'll get 1969 and 1970, then there'll be a bit of a break and then I'll go back to it, I think.
To tell you the truth, my notes for the 1970s are based on my old Alternate Oscars which weren't divided into drama and comedy -- not a lot of great performances by actresses in comedies in the 1970s.
So I could use the time to flesh out my choices.
Hey! I've actually seen some of these movies -- so what's that, the kiss of death?
As Ben Murphy said in the classic Riding With Death: God i hope the 70s never end.
I'm interested to see how far these go actually.
Also, while I like the selections I want to know the reasons behind the choices.
I'm interested now that I've finally started catching up on my blog reading! Your choices are way better than those other awards. :)
Hey! I've actually seen some of these movies -- so what's that, the kiss of death?
I think you'll probably still get some new ones, but more like every three days.
Some great movies coming up -- The Godfather, Chinatown, Star Wars, Animal House, Manhattan ...
Also, while I like the selections I want to know the reasons behind the choices.
Think of this as the outline of the next decade's worth of blogging ...
Your choices are way better than those other awards. :)
Thanks, Jandy! And the after-party is amazing!
