It’s the Alternative Oscars! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode 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 69th Academy Awards. It was held March 24th 1997 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California and hosted by Billy Crystal. The big winner that night was Anthony Minghella's epic romance The English Patient starring Ralph Fiennes, Willem Dafoe, Kristen Scott Thomas and Juliette Binoche, who went home with a Best Supporting Actress Oscar that night. It won 9 Oscars out of its 12 nominations including Best Picture and Best Director. It won over films like Fargo, Secrets & Lies, Jerry Maguire and Shine. Did it deserve to win?
