Oscars...

I was watching some movies on tv today when I came across a movie I hadn't seen in a long time - The Quiet Man (starring John Wayne). When it cut to commercial, it started an ad for all of the past oscar winning movies that they would be playing this month. I thought that was pretty cool... especially as some of my favorite 'old' movies were in the list LOL...

Here's a list of all of the winners and nominees of Best Picture (includes this years nominees) The winner is first followed by the other nominees for Best Picture. I was surprised to find that I have watched a lot of Oscar worthy movies - even going back into the 1930's. Take a look and see if you can recognize any of your favorites...
