I’m starting to notice a new and disturbing trend. It seems to me that the Oscar board/committee is not overly keen on nominating comedies. Not a lot of laughs in this bunch.

Favourite – A clear winner – Cavalcade. I would watch that again and would happily accept a remake of this. Brilliant concept.

Least Favourite – A tie. 42nd Street or She Done Him Wrong. Not bad films, just instantly forgettable.

I took quite a long break halfway through this set, but I’m back with a renewed vigour. I just hope the films live up to the hype. I did some research lately and bought a couple of books that will hopefully help me with some of the background shenanigans.
