Did anybody notice I misspelled Catherine Deneuve's name in the poll? I've spelled it right everywhere else, and I don't think it'll invalidate the results, but sheesh nevertheless.
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?

Two things:
(1) De nueve means "of nine" in Spanish. If Catherine had eight siblings, you're home free with either spelling, cowboy; and
(2) Boy was and is she an attractive borad. And by broad I mean woman.
