Not sure how I forgot him but I've added him to the list. I just re-watched his collaboration with Bette tonight "The Letter"..he brought out the best in her. A great director!<br /><br />Great comments as always.<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-86908408304983804762012-02-13T22:40:00.231-08:002012-02-13T22:40:00.231-08:00Oh, Tom!

Just unbelievable that his two really stellar comedies were completely ignored that year.<br /><br />I do agree that Cagney's performance was just as good as Tracy's but Father Flanagan pulled at everyone's heart strings.<br /><br />Thanks for being a loyal reader here, especially for this Oscar series.<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-44758606284724473952012-02-13T02:30:43.423-08:002012-02-13T02:30:43.423-08:00I'm totally down with Jezebel's wins, but ...I'm totally down with Jezebel's wins, but - geeze - wasn't James Cagney GREAT in Angels With Dirty Faces? COME on!!!! And, while I can't while about a Garbo snub, they just kept snubbing my poor Cary Grant all the time! Poor Cary, Poor Garbo (I'll bet Leonardo di Caprio knows how they felt...).

Jezebel was Davis and Bainter's picture, and Fonda was only mildly good. However, the biggest snub had to be for Best Director, as William Wyler deserved a medal for pushing Davis so much. BTW, Jezebel should have won Best Picture, too.Kimberly J.M.

It's hard to go up against Father Flanagan. <br />Thanks for stopping by...so glad you enjoyed my Oscar post.<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-21166473024741701752012-02-12T12:45:56.411-08:002012-02-12T12:45:56.411-08:00I agree "The Lady Vanishes" was snubbed!...I agree "The Lady Vanishes" was snubbed! It is an excellent ensemble cast and great plot. I know many would disagree with me, but I think Boyer should have won for "Algiers." Your article is very informative and I enjoyed it.Gilby37https://www.blogger.com/profile/12559239743969365425noreply@blogger.com
