Katie-Bar-The-Door Award Nominees and Winners—1927-39

What are the Katie-Bar-The-Door Awards? Named for Katie-Bar-The-Door, the Katies are "alternate Oscars"—who should have been nominated, who should have won—but really they're just an excuse to write a history of the movies from the Silent Era to the present day.
