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?

With a Lon Chaney movie marathon!
No, I kid.
I would suggest a triple feature of Robin Hood, Thief of Bagdad and Mark of Zorro.
But I'm watching the all day Mythbusters marathon myself.
As long as it's not an all day MythicalMonkeybusters marathon ...
I'd say that's about as good a Fairbanks triple feature as you could see. I've become a real fan over the course of the last year.
*sniff*
I'll have a few drinks with my chum.
I've turned over a new leaf. . . .
Pizza and beer!

Happy Belated Birthday, Douglas!
Douglas is a good man.
