Academy Awards

I finally, as one of only a few people, can say that I watched the Academy Award winner before the film actually won the award. Heck, I can make the claim that I've seen it period - as most people never end up watching these.

I've also thought up which ones I've seen. I've compiled a list:

1927-1928: Wings
1930-1931: All Quiet on the Western Front
1939: Gone with the Wind
1943: Casablanca
1948: Hamlet
1949: All the King's Men
1953: From Here to Eternity
1954: On the Waterfront
1955: Marty
1956: Around the World in Eighty Days
1957: The Bridge on the River Kwai
1959: Ben-Hur
1961: West Side Story
1962: Lawrence of Arabia
1964: My Fair Lady
1965: The Sound of Music
1967: In the Heat of the Night
1968: Oliver!

1973: The Sting
1974: The Godfather Part II
