Every year starting in late August and ending sometime around late February, Hollywood is consumed with winning an eight-and-a-half-pound gold trophy. Even in a world overrun with awards shows, the Oscars remain the grandest prize, and a Best Picture victory cements filmmakers and actors’ place in history. It also means that, for the rest of time, a lot of people will complain that your movie wasn’t that great and should have lost to some other movie they felt was eminently more deserving.

That’s what the Academy Awards are all about. .youtube[data-uri="www.vulture.com/_components/youtube/instances/cjs4ua7u2001d3g66gx2ey6js@published"].border-top:before { content: 'Watch'; } Widely considered the first real “Hollywood musical,” to be honest, that’s just about the only thing going for it.
