Still angry 73 years later

Jen wraps while watching A Christmas in Connecticut.  It was a strange little movie from 1945.  Jen loved it.  I had to work to get past one of my movie rules - "Don't watch movies based totally upon a lie".
We ended the evening watching a bit of "The Wizard of Oz".  Oz was robbed in the 1939 Oscars.
Here is the list of movies nominated that year:


Gone With the Wind (Selznick International Pictures; MGM)
Goodbye, Mr. Chips (MGM)
Love Affair (RKO Radio)
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (Columbia)
Ninotchka (MGM)
Of Mice and Men (Hal Roach; United Artists)
Stagecoach (Walter Wanger; United Artists)
The Wizard of Oz (MGM)
Wuthering Heights (Goldwyn; United Artists)

Gone With the Wind won... total crap.

I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!
