The Moonlight Awards, Episode 6: 1934
from The Moonlight Awards · host Aaron Keck
The Oscars may have "Happened One Night," but Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert face a strong challenge from the poetic beauty of Jean Vigo, the banter of Nick and Nora, another star turn from Marlene Dietrich, and an early classic about race in America. Will we agree with the Oscars, for the first time? Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as we discuss the year in cinema, the Hays Code, the enduring appeal of Frank Capra, and more - and then we'll award the best picture of 1934 and announce the nominees for 1935. This year's nominees are L'Atalante, Imitation of Life, It Happened One Night, The Scarlet Empress, and The Thin Man. Who wins the Moonlight?
