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 45th Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 1972. It was held March 27th 1973 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by actors Carol Burnett, Michael Caine, Charlton Heston (Clint Eastwood briefly filled in for him) and Rock Hudson.
It was the year of Cab-Father, when Bob Fosse's Cabaret and Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part 1 went head to head with each other. It was also the first time two African American women were nominated for awards: Cicely Tyson and Diana Ross. But out of the films released in 1972, which ones deserved to win and/or get nominated? Listen here and find out who we would've picked.
