if i were an academy member...

I have assigned myself the slightly daunting task of choosing Best Picture, Actor and Actress based on the Academy’s often lackluster, short sighted and conventional group of nominees. The Best Picture is usually the toughest (at least the acting categories tend to have a few good performances per year)…

1927-28
Picture: 7th Heaven. What really won: Wings.
Picture, Unique and Artistic Production: Sunrise. What really won: Sunrise.
Actor: Emil Jannings (The Last Command). Who really won: Emil Jannings (The Last Command).
Actress: Janet Gaynor (Sunrise). Who really won: Janet Gaynor...
