Dear Friends, Clients and Associates --
In honor of this Sunday's Academy Awards, I've put together a sale of
original movie posters and lobby cards focussed around the Academy
Awards. Here are ten "Oscar" questions that deserve answers (and the
answers are in the individual listings in my EBAY Store):
1) What is the mystery surrounding the 1941 Special Effects
nomination for THE SEA WOLF?
2) What film rivaled THE COLOR PURPLE for most nominations and zero
wins?
3) What was the first film to receive a writing nomination (yes, I
have something for sale on it)?
4) What Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece received only a couple of
technical nominations and no wins?
5) What brilliant, visionary, science-fiction classic was not even
nominated for Best Picture?
6) What piece of science fiction mastery lost for Best Visual Effects
to ET?
7) Elmer Bernstein's magnificent score to THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN lost
to which of the following: THE ALAMO (Dimitri Tiomkin), EXODUS (Ernest
Gold), ELMER GANTRY (Andre Previn), or SPARTACUS (Alex North)?
8) The Best Song of 1943 was YOU'LL NEVER KNOW from HELLO, FRISCO,
HELLO. What incredibly famous song was not even nominated that year?
9) What film brought Oscar nominations to the writing/directing team
of John Steinbeck and Alfred Hitchcock?
and finally,
10 What major 1961 film collaboration between John Huston, Arthur
Miller, Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach, Thelma Ritter,
Marilyn Monroe, and Andre Previn received not a single Academy Award
nomination?
