1947 - It’s a “Wonderful” VS. “Best” Oscar

The OSCARS: What Were They Thinking?!

About
Hey there Oscar fans — Bruce is back and we are excited to bring you a super fun episode that looks back at the 1947 Oscars for the films of 1946 — yet another simply outstanding year of movies. And while this year is highlighted by a heavyweight battle between ‘The Best Years of Our Lives’ and ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’…  You can pretty much name any genre and find an incredible movie to suit your taste — many of which are still talked about today.  But with so many great movies this year, it’s remarkable how many A+ films didn’t make the cut.  So, did the right films win?  Were the right actors & actresses nominated?  And what classic films from Hollywood’s golden era should you be adding to your watch-list?  Get ready to find all that out and more.  And remember, every time you leave us a 5-star review — Bruce eats some wings!  Thanks for listening!
