    19/10/2021 Duração: 36min

    Subscribe via: RSS Feed // Spotify // Apple Podcasts // Google Podcasts // Pocket CastsFor some reason, the last Alfred Hitchcock film to be nominated for Best Picture is his 1945 psychological thriller, Spellbound. Featuring an early performance from Gregory Peck, and another lead performance from Ingrid Bergman, Spellbound was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and winning the Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture Oscar for Miklós Rózsa.While co-hosts Dave and Andrew could have gone the easy route by discussing Mildred Pierce, a much more worthy Best Picture nominee (and deserving winner too), they instead digest how psychology is presented by Hitchcock, how to present a good amnesia film, while also being surprised by the fun of the film.Spoilers abound for The Yearling too.Clips presented in this episode: Spellbound trailer // Liverwurst scene // Therapy SceneFollow the hosts on social media at the links below:Andrew F Peirce – @TheCurbAUDavid Giannini – @DarnthatdaveAwards Don’t Mat

  • 1945 Academy Award Best Picture Winner: The Lost Weekend (dir. Billy Wilder)

    05/10/2021 Duração: 01h47min

    The Lost Weekend is Billy Wilder's first Best Picture winning film, and first time winning Best Director as well. For a director that many may know as a comedy-focused great, this journey into the darkness of alcohol addiction is bleak, powerful, and ultimately a very sobering affair.With a searing Best Actor award winning performance from Ray Milland, and a comforting supporting turn from the ever-reliable Jane Wyman, The Lost Weekend stands as a Best Picture winner that has fallen out of conversation but deserves reappraisal. On Awards Don't Matter, co-hosts Dave and Andrew discuss this noir-tinged drama at length, touching on some very sensitive and possibly triggering subjects.Ultimately, this leads them to the enduring question: does The Lost Weekend still matter?Clips in this episode: The Lost Weekend trailer // Benefits of Drinking clipFollow the hosts on social media at the links below:Andrew F Peirce – @TheCurbAUDavid Giannini – @DarnthatdaveAwards Don’t Matter – @AwardsDontPodSee omnystudio.com/list

Starring Ingrid Bergman in one of her Oscar winning roles, alongside Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotten, and Oscar nominee Angela Lansbury, this thriller is a film that coined a phrase that has become synonymous with a horrifying act of bruality that people enact on one another.Co-hosts Dave and Andrew discuss the intensity of this  powerful, enduring classic, while also discussing the morality of Joseph Cotten's heroic character, exploring the 'one perfect shot' aspect of the film, and theorising what kind of impact Gaslight might have had on the film industry if it won Best Picture.

    23/09/2021 Duração: 40min

    As World War Two wraps up, we ease out of one of the worst events of modern humankind with one of the most charming and inconsequential Best Picture winners yet, Leo McCarey's Going My Way. Bing Crosby won Best Actor, and dual nominee for the same role, Barry Fitzgerald won Best Supporting Actor, both playing priests keeping their church and its constiuents alive.Dave and Andrew navigate religion, priests, music, and charm in this discussion that tries to pat this nice little film on the shoulder for trying. Thankfully, this isn't the musical Cats, nor is it another Best Picture winner, Spotlight.Clips featured in this episode: Going My Way trailer // Right Field Pitcher // They Let it Happen from SpotlightFollow the hosts on social media at the links below:Andrew F Peirce – @TheCurbAUDavid Giannini – @DarnthatdaveAwards Don’t Matter – @AwardsDontPodFollow the hosts on social media at the links below:Andrew F Peirce – @TheCurbAUDavid Giannini – @DarnthatdaveAwards Don’t Matter – @AwardsDontPodSee omnystudio.c
