1963 - Oscar of Arabia

Hello!  We at Oscars WWTT? believe the beauty of this podcast comes from three things. 1. Looking back at the Oscars of the past to see which winners & nominees have stood the test of time, or not.  2. Trying to understand how or why the Academy voters chose that year’s winners and nominees, and 3) Putting hidden gems and/or movies you haven’t heard of on your radar.  For this episode, the 1963 Oscars for the films of 1962 — we get plenty of all three.  There are some legendary wins, some historically curious losses and lots of great movies you’ll want to add to your watch list.  So join us on an epic adventure as Bruce and “Tex” sift through the sands of time to discover WTF the Oscars were thinking!  As always, thanks for joining us!
