What are the Katie-Bar-The-Door Awards?
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
2000s
2010s
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.
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?
What is a Mythical Monkey?
An infinite number of monkeys typing at an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite amount of time will eventually produce Shakespeare's Hamlet.
This is the blog of one such monkey.

I would like hereby to write in Sebastian Koch in the category of Best Supporting Actor. As you may recall, I think that The Lives of Others is a brilliant picture, and it only worked with the beautifully crafted performances of Mühe and Koch.
By the way, von Donnersmarck's Never Look Away is probably better than The Lives of Others, which says a lot coming from yers truly. And Koch's performance in it id do far removed from his prior work for that director that it makes me want to nominate him twice. . . .
I feel like I ought to do a handful of do-overs -- best picture for 1963 and 1995, say, and best supporting actor here might also be a good one.
