Around the World in Eighty Days for some reason, somehow, won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1956. WATCH THIS VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8DNHqserog
Sometimes, it happens. The weakest film, with the weakest script and, not one acting nomination, gets the Award for various reasons. Like I said, it happens. It happened when the greatest Movie Western ever made, was made. It happened when the 12th greatest movie ever made, was made and it wasn’t even nominated. John Ford’s The Searchers got snubbed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1956 and we can no longer allow this injustice to stand before us. I am more than ready to DeOscarize Around the World in Eighty Days to make John Ford’s The Searchers, starring John Wayne,
the NEW Best Picture of 1956.
