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.
To see a list of nominees and winners by decade, as well as links to my essays about them, click the highlighted links:
Remember: There are no wrong answers, only movies you haven't seen yet.
The Silent Oscars
And don't forget to check out the Silent Oscars—my year-by-year choices for best picture, director and all four acting categories for the pre-Oscar years, 1902-1927.
Look at me—Joe College, with a touch of arthritis. Are my eyes really brown? Uh, no, they're green. Would we have the nerve to dive into the icy water and save a person from drowning? That's a key question. I, of course, can't swim, so I never have to face it. Say, haven't you anything better to do than to keep popping in here early every morning and asking a lot of fool questions?

"Jeepers Criminy, she and Frances Dade make quite a pair. . . ."
not quite the pair that Troy McClure and Delores Montenegro made while filming "Preacher with a Shovel"
or was that "Leper in the Backfield"?
Troy McClure, one of my all-time favorite actors. You may remember him from such films as "P" is for Psycho and The President's Neck Is Missing.
Actually, I just found a website that lists his movies, The Simpson's Guide ...
There should be some sort of special Katie award for him, don't you think?
heck a Lifetime Achievement Award if nothing else for "Gladys, The Groovy Mule" alone - never mind "Calling All Quakers" or "Muppets Go Medieval"
heck a Lifetime Achievement Award
"As I told my co-star Dolores Montenegro in the movie Calling All Quakers, 'Have it your way, baby!'"
