a mythical monkey writes about the movies june 2021 skip to main skip to sidebar wednesday june 30 2021 alternate oscars best actress of 1945 re vote this is a simple re vote there were some clear cut shenanigans the first time around so i shut down the ballot early tough choice for you all five actresses in my opinion turned in the best performances of their career if it means anything to you joan crawford already has an alternate oscar in the bank with her turn in 1932 s grand hotel but don t let that influence you if like me you re a fan of mildred pierce have at it best actress of 1945 my choices are noted with a a tie is indicated with a historical oscar winners are noted with a posted by mythical monkey at 10 48 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 1945 alternate oscars quizzes and polls tuesday june 29 2021 alternate oscars best actor of 1944 re do okay let s start with an easy one the best actor of 1944 best actor of 1944 note i m nominating american movies by the date of their oscar eligibility so to have and have not will show up in 1945 not 1944 but foreign made movies including british movies by the date of release in their home country foreign films even british ones tend to show up here late sometimes years late so that from the perspective of using these alternate awards to reveal movie history nominating a foreign film in terms of its oscar eligibility is somewhat counterproductive to my purposes for example olivier s henry v showed up in the united states in 1946 and received four oscar nominations very nice but the movie actually premiered in london in 1944 while the war still raged in europe henry s famous st crispian s day speech we few we happy few we band of brothers for he to day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother must have made for one hell of a morale booster so i ve nominated olivier here by the way i think it s a great performance which is saying something between me and thee i m not a fan of olivier s generally but henry v is a great movie as always my choices are noted with a or in this case with a where there is a tie sue me historical oscar winners are noted with a posted by mythical monkey at 12 12 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 1944 alternate oscars quizzes and polls monday june 28 2021 alternate oscars the re do s the re vote s and before too long the results for years this blog was all about alternate oscars and then for the last two plus years it s been about nothing at all i blame cancer to clarify i beat cancer it was a knockdown drag out fifteen rounder but twenty six months after a surgery to end all surgeries i m standing over the prostrate body of esophageal adenocarcinoma but that s not to say that the battle didn t take its toll chemo radiation 13 hours of surgery and months of recovery more surgery during the peak of the pandemic frequent bouts of nausea that continue to this day plus two years of insomnia keyed by violent nightmares my brains are tired i used to write every day if not on this blog then on the great american novel or for sharpologist and even for flicker alley but not for two years now i got the nightmares under control with my own version of exposure therapy binge watching all 15 seasons of e r now it s time to wrestle the rest of my brain into line as you may recall from april 2018 to november 2019 i posted weekly polls offering my alternate nominations for the big six oscar categories picture actor actress director supporting actor supporting actress plus various special awards overall i m pleased with the results well mostly what you don t know is that i received my cancer diagnosis right in the middle of that project november 8 2018 to be exact or more precisely right between 1957 and 1958 as the alternate oscar flies i went from very methodically working my way through a given year over the course of a week to advance posting about ten years in a single week trying to squeeze it all in between various treatments as a result i got more than a little sloppy at times my choices for 1963 and 1995 were especially poor leaving out some true classics on top of that there was some occasional hanky panky at the voting booth with clear cut cases of ballot stuffing that left me with some truly idiosyncratic results so this is what i propose starting this week i m going to launch a handful of re do s where i give you a new set of nominees as well as some re votes using a different free voting service and then i m going to start posting the results of all the voting revealing my choice your choice and the academy s choice at this point i suspect there are maybe three people who ever check in here even katie bar the door doesn t drop in anymore so the vote totals on the re do s and re votes might be a bit sparse but i m nothing if not a completionist and besides the real point of the exercise is to force myself back into the habit of writing part of me has really missed writing just not the part of me that does anything about it time to wake up posted by mythical monkey at 9
