The Moonlight Awards, Episode 9: 1937
from The Moonlight Awards · host Aaron Keck
We've got five nominees, but it's a two-film race this year. One is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest films ever made; the other is one of the most beloved, with a massive influence on popular culture. Both movies are deserving - but which one will win? Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as we discuss the year in cinema, poetic realism, screwball comedy, Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck, the transition to color, what makes a great antiwar film, Leo McCarey's "Elvis year," and the monolith that is Walt Disney - and then we'll award the best picture of 1937 and announce the nominees for 1938. This year's nominees are The Awful Truth, Grand Illusion, Pepe Le Moko, Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, and Stella Dallas. Who wins the Moonlight?
