It’s Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked.This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 55th Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 1982. It was held April 11th 1983 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California. It had multiple hosts which included Richard Pryor and Walter Matthau. Sir Richard Attenborough's epic biopic Gandhi was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won 8, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in a leading role for Sir Ben Kingsley who played Mahatma Gandhi.
