Psycho is easily as good, if not better, than Silence of the Lambs. But it wasn't considered a prestige film back in those days.

Terrific post, Le. The Oscar journey of the thriller also reminds me of comedies, which have traditionally also been put aside by Oscar. Also, as you say, thrillers often have a much longer life span in the minds of the public than most other movie genres. It's a travesty!!

In retrospect, although I wasn't even born yet, I also think Double Indemnity was way better choice than Going My Way. Hitchcock was the biggest loser in all Oscar history, though, I agree.

I don't know why they aren't treated seriously by the Academy, but it is a real shame. So many great scripts and performances and cinematography... Ah, but here I am, preaching to the choir. You make some excellent points, Le.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719905867000998397.post-30117445463077010142018-02-25T13:02:45.691-03:002018-02-25T13:02:45.691-03:00"...Emma Stone the musical star who can't..."...Emma Stone the musical star who can't sing or dance." I read so many glowing reviews about La La Land, but when I watched a trailer the level of musical ability did not impress me one little bit, so I have given the movie a pass.<br /><br />The skill and creativity in making a truly classic thriller should make such films obvious award candidates, but it often seems (and this is through almost a century of Oscars) that the people who work in the business don't appreciate what is truly best in their business.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
