1983 at the Oscars
Domestic dramas were in vogue at the 1983 Oscars and indeed, throughout the year-end awards season. The National Board of Review got things started things rolling by naming TV director James L.

From the late 1940s through the 1970s, three major networks, ABC, CBS and NBC, dominated broadcast TV in the U.S. Although PBS and local channels

The 1978 Oscar race is best remembered as the year of the dueling Vietnam War movies but it almost didn’t happen. Universal had planned The Deer Hunter for a February 1979 release and didn’t decide on limited New York and L.A. runs in mid-December until late November. The L.A. Film critics were the first to

1977 at the Oscars
