1928: The Jazz Wingers
Welcome to Academy Vs Audience, a journey through Oscar history looking at the Academy's Best Pictures, the Box Office Champions, and where award ceremonies or public opinion went right or very, very wrong. To begin, a little bit of both, as your freelance film historians Dan, Erin, and Claire dig into the very first Oscars. The only year with two Best Pictures celebrates the silent era, while the box office champ signals its end. Thrills, beauty, and some very uncomfortable racism follow.
