Oscar Rewind: The 1941 Oscars (How Green Was My Valley)

Oscar Wild by Sophia Ciminello & Nick Ruhrkraut

Episode notes

Join Nick and Sophia as they travel back 80 years, once again debating whether The Academy got it right at the 14th Academy Awards. This time, they discuss seven of the ten Best Picture nominees, including: Suspicion (5:33), The Maltese Falcon (16:20), Here Comes Mr. Jordan (29:18), The Little Foxes (36:20), Citizen Kane (46:27), Sergeant York (1:01:18), and the winner, How Green Was My Valley (1:08:41). They answer listener questions, ponder the meaning of Rosebud, and share other movies released in 1941 that they think deserve more attention.
