Oscar Vault Monday – Picnic, 1955 (dir.Kim novak current photo

This is a year wherein I 100% agree with the winner the Academy picked – Marty. It’s one of my favorite films period, let alone one of my favorite Best Picture winners. That being said, the three nominees I’ve seen from that year (Marty, Picnic and Mister Roberts) are all fabulous films.
I decided to talk about Picnic because it has one of my all-time favorite performances and there’s lots of shirtless William Holden.

Picnic was nominated for six Oscars, winning two: Best Score, Best Color Art Direction-Set Decoration (won), Best Film Editing (won), Best Supporting Actor Arthur O’Connell, Best Director and Best Picture.
The other films nominated for Best Picture that year were: Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing, Mister Roberts, The Rose Tattoo and winner Marty.
This is such a beautiful film, The sets, the lighting, the cinematography – everything is exquisite.
