Looking Ahead: Katie-Bar-The-Door Award Winners, 1927-1939
In case you care, I've roughed out the nominees and winners of the Katie-Bar-The-Door Awards from 1927 through 1939—they're not complete, and they're not carved in stone, but then neither am I.
Tomorrow or the next day, I'll be uploading a new article to Sharpologist.com—Ten Memorable Movie Shaving Scenes. (And if you missed the first installment of "Shaving in Hollywood," click here.)
Very impressive. I like how you broke the categories into parts like best actor/actress in comedy/musical and drama. And adding screenplays was also a nice touch. Great job John. and to Katie as well.
Thanks, Monty. I confess, picking both drama and comedy lets me post twice as many pictures of actors and actresses I really like. But what's wrong with that?
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.

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?
