You've seen Brock Peters square off against Oskar Werner for Best Supporting Actor...
Listened to music ranging from Cat Ballou to Morituri...
Actively rooted for The Flight of the Phoenix, maybe...
And now it comes down to this -- the awards for Best Editing, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Picture of 1965 -- including my Top Ten!
Yes, a full month after my last post, I'm finally continuing my personal picks for the best of 1965. And best of all -- there are still two more posts after this!
Today, we take a look at Best Original Song, Best Sound, Best Actor, and Best Cinematography. And be forewarned: in at least one of these categories, not a single one of Oscar's nominees made it!
Shall we begin with a little song and dance?
