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:
1888-1927
1927-1939
1940s
1950s
1960s
1970s
1980s
1990s

Remember: There are no wrong answers, only movies you haven't seen yet.
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.
An infinite number of monkeys typing at an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite amount of time will eventually produce Shakespeare's Hamlet.

About Me
- Mythical Monkey
- 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?

Yeah, with all due respect to Cukor and Lubitsch and the greatest double-take ever, Duck Soup is better than all the other ones combined.
Yeah, this is, for me at least, the easiest category of 1932-33 ...
goddammit, will you slow down??!?

Now, please
don't go spoiling the "surprise"
will you slow down??!?
Slow down! If I were going any slower, I'd be going backwards!
Actually, after I finish off 1933, I am going backwards for the rest of the year -- twenty-one posts covering movie history from 1888 to 1933. Then for New Years day, we'll start in on 1934 and The Golden Age ...
What! easy? They are all awesome films I wouldn't know what to decide on..
I am rethinking my position.
Take a look at that Jean Harlow, will you. . . .
hubba hubba
I'll take Miriam Hopkins over Jean Harlow any day.
Well, Beck m'boy, we'll never have to fight over our ladies' attentions.
Of course, we will: my wandering eye will lead me to Miriam as sure as you're born.
And her dead and all -- shameful!
Harlow, Hopkins -- what about Margaret Dumont?
Mrs. Teasdale: Oh, your Excellency!
Rufus T. Firefly: You're not so bad yourself.
Was Mrs. Teasdale born in Wisconsin and educated in Minnesota?
just asking. . . .
[icch]
Was Mrs. Teasdale born in Wisconsin and educated in Minnesota?
"Not that I care, but where is your husband?"
"Why, he's dead."
"I bet he's just using that as an excuse."
"I was with him to the very end."
"No wonder he passed away."
"I held him in my arms and kissed him."
"Oh, I see, then it was murder! Will you marry me? Did he leave you any money? Answer the second question first."
I have difficulty understanding all this fuss about whether Harlow, Hopkins or Dumont when Aline MacMahon is in the mix (and in the bathtub if I recall correctly). Best, Gerald,
