I used to think the Oscars were pretty worthless, Then TCM host Dave Karger changed my mind. We walk through the history of the Oscars, share our favorite non-winning films, and make a strong case of how the Oscars really do shine a light on movies that people might not otherwise see…
In this episode, we talk about…
- Historical context of the Academy Awards and its evolution over 75 years
- How marketing turned the Oscars from a one-night affair to a months-long season of campaigning
- The ebb and flow of what it means to win or lose an Oscar
- Details about TCM’s Annual 31 Days of Oscar Festival
- Recognizing trends of Oscar winners by decade
- Award categories and the differences between Best Screenplay vs. Best Picture
- Advice for filmmakers to pay attention to the director’s branch and writer’s branch
- Suggestions for new award categories to bring attention to the craft of filmmaking
- Examples of amazing movies nominated for an Oscar that didn’t win
- Whether the Oscars needs a separate musical comedy category
- How TCM crafts their intros, outros, and movie rotation
- Whether Oscars are given in recognition of past work or purely because of a specific performance
