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.

I don't care.
I just found out that Harold Lloyd was an accomplished photographer of nudes.
Va-Va-Va-Voom!
I'm assuming, based on this newly discovered info, that Girl Shy was not it.....
Personally, I think it's a trick question. The answer is obviously "E. Sleeper (1973), starring Woody Allen channeling the ghost of Harold Lloyd."
