Following are my picks for what should have been nominated in 1947...but with some not so small differences:
- Best Costume Design - not an Oscar category until the following year; nevertheless, it is a Hollmann Awards category
- Best Makeup & Hairstyling - not an Oscar category until 1981; nevertheless, it is a Hollmann Awards category
- Best Ensemble - not an Oscar category; nevertheless, it is a Hollmann Awards category, awarded where possible to the casting director(s)
- Best Adapted Screenplay - not an Oscar category until 1957; nevertheless, it a Hollmann Awards category
- Best Original Screenplay - considered separate from Motion Picture Story until 1958; both are combined into this single designation for the Hollmann Awards
For a complete list of the 64 films considered, check out my Top Ten of 1947. Eighteen categories in all. And now, the nominees, in the order that I figured them out...except Best Picture, which comes at the end. I've linked to my review the first time each title appears.
