The Complete Oscar Quest
I did my original Oscar Quest, which was just Picture, Director, Actor, Actor, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, and very quickly realized, “Well I guess I have to do them all now.” Because that’s how crazy works, kids.
This is a list of every nominee ever at the Oscars. In one place. From the first Oscars up through the most recent ceremony. Every category, every nominee, winners notated. I’ve broken them up into individual pages for each year, so we don’t have a single, unwieldy article on our hands.
At the bottom of each year, so you don’t have to parse through everything if you want to watch them all, I made a list of all the films that were nominated (except for the nominees for Foreign Language Film, Documentary and the Shorts categories. Maybe one day I’ll include those, but not now).
My goal is to watch every movie on those lists. So what I’ve done is, at the bottom of this page I have my current list of what nominees I’ve yet to watch. And I will continue updating it as I watch more films.
(Note: These links will eventually contain both the winners and nominees and some form of write up by me about my thoughts on each of the categories. We’re not quite there yet. We’re putting Descartes before the horse. And he’s just going, “Is it, though?”)
