The Katie-Bar-The-Door Awards Updated At Long Last

Our long national nightmare is over! The sock monkey who types this blog finally got around to bringing the Katie-Bar-the-Door Awards up to date — we now have nominees and winners for the entire Oscar era, from 1927 all the way through 2024 ... and one big winner for 2025.

And what are the Katie-Bar-the-Door Awards? Not so much alternate Oscars as alternate Golden Globe awards, I have chosen movies, actors, directors and writers I think Hollywood should have honored over the years in the categories of drama, comedy/musical (broadly defined) and (in the best picture category) foreign language.

Other than the immortal Erik Beck, who does that? Well, what can I tell you — the Monkey is a full-service old-school blog!
