About this episode
Looking back at a year in which three of the five highest grossing films were also Best Picture nominees feels like a rare feat today. However, 1953 has it all, from the first CinemaScope film to an historical romance drama set during WWII, and Audrey Hepburn’s big Hollywood break including her first Oscar nomination and win! Stay tuned as Nick and Sophia discuss the most nominated films of 1953, including the Best Picture winner, From Here to Eternity. Then, they debate if the other four nominees had a fair shot at winning the top prize at the Oscars, including: Julius Caesar (24:00), The Robe (35:31), Roman Holiday (46:18), and Shane (1:02:36).
