Hey Oscar fans — welcome to the 1955 Oscars for the films of 1954. In case you weren’t aware, 1954 was an absolutely outstanding year full of great movies…some of which even got nominated for Academy Awards! Which means some of the best movies that are still beloved, rewatched, referenced and remade today did NOT get any Oscar love. This includes a few shockingly egregious omissions that we’re pretty sure will have you scratching your head. So join us down on the waterfront as Bruce and “Tex” attempt to solve the mystery of “What they were thinking?” when the Academy looked out their rear window and saw…nothing. As always, thanks for listening and joining us at The Oscars!
