Three years of the Monkey as of today. Many friends have dropped by to celebrate. Why don't you join us?
Respectively, Kirsten Bell; Pier Angeli and Danny Kaye; Audrey Hepburn; Conan O'Brien; Doris Day; Gary Cooper; Katharine Hepburn; Marlon Brando; and Marilyn Monroe.
As Ray Stevens once said, "Let's hear it for the monkey!"
And for the round three battles. The Lombard-Loy match is epic in its evenness, causing Team Carole to draw out the heavy artillery (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/496617.html). Your other match is equally stunning, as Irene Dunne -- who heretofore has stomped her foes like an elegant King Kong -- can't shake off the game Ginger Rogers.
Can Ginger pull the upset of upsets? Will Carole, a regular Cocoanut Grove dance rival of Joan Crawford in the mid-1920s, finally get her rematch? Find out!
Happy bloggiversary, Monkey, from the True Classics crew! This is one of our favorite stops on the web. Here's to many more years of entertaining us! ;)
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?

Three more years of degeneration.
How can you lift your [metaphorical] pencil? Aren't you tired?
