Well, it’s almost here! One more week and then, it’s Oscar time. This is the time of year that I always end up remembering an infamous little film from 1966 that I’ve always wanted to see. The film in question was meant to be an expose of all the sordid side of show business but instead, it has since become legendary for the number of critics who have declared it to be one of the worst films ever made. The film is called “The Oscar” and it even scored nominations for both its sets and its costumes. Each year, around this time, I swear that I’m going to track down and finally watch this movie. Will this be the year that it finally happens?
Probably not. To be honest, this is going to be a pretty busy week for me and, once this year’s ceremony is over with, I’ll probably be burned out on Oscar talk.
It happens.
However, even if I don’t see the film anytime soon, I can still share this YouTube video of highlights from 1966’s The Oscar.
Enjoy!
Wow, but that was a terrible movie. Didn’t this almost single-handedly kill Stephen Boyd’s film career?

Not sure about Stephen Boyd but I do know that this film was Tony Bennett’s first and last dramatic role.
