That's All

I was in Westwood recently. On one block they have these little monuments to the Best Picture Oscar winners built into the sidewalk. It starts with the first winner, Wings, and stops suddenly with Annie Hall. Did they intend to keep digging up the sidewalk every year but ran out of money in the late 70s?

The saddest thing is construction has covered up the winners for 1949 and 1950. For the record, they're All The King's Men and All About Eve.

Only one other winner has "All" in the title. Can you guess it?

The Firesign Theatre has never won an Oscar.

I'll reveal the answer on Sunday.

All quiet on the western front? (I know nothing about Oscar history -- this movie could be older than the oscars -- but it has the word 'ALL' it it!)

When I was at UCLA I liked those stars, and wondered why they had stopped. I thought it was because they were in such a silly location that someone eventually decided not to bother. IIRC, they go through that little archway under the stairs, or up the stairs, or something like that....
