The Wizard of Oz


Nominated for Art Direction, Cinematography, Music, Outstanding Production, and Special Effects in 1939.

If you have not had a soft spot for this movie at one point in your life, there is a good chance that you are in fact a robot. I'm not going to run through all the trivia and tribulations with which we are all so familiar already. There's no need. All I need to say is that this is a perfect musical, the film I would probably chose to represent American Cinema, and a wonderful choice to instill a lifelong love of movies in children.

“The Wizard of Oz” only won one Oscar, for music.
