It’s Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked.
This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 22nd Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 1949. It was held March 23rd 1950 at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by actor Paul Douglas. The Heiress was the film with the most nominations, nominated for 8 Oscars and won 4 of them. Joseph L Mankiewicz won Best Director and Best Screenplay for A Letter to Three Wives. He would win those awards again the following year for All About Eve. But out of the films released that year, which ones deserved to win and/or get nominated? Listen here and find out who we would've picked.
