SUMMARY:Cary Grant
DESCRIPTION:Cary Grant was one of the most iconic stars in the entire history of classic Hollywood cinema. The man who was born Archibald Leach made more than 50 films as a leading man and yet never won a competitive Academy Award!  Cary Grant was the personification of a leading man movie star. Handsome\, talented\, suave\, debonair\, and star in any film genre\, his place in Hollywood history is assured.  \nCary Grant starred in some of the greatest screwball/romantic comedies ever made. “Bringing up Baby\,” “His Girl Friday\,” & “The Philadelphia Story”  are just the tip of the iceberg for his great career in light comedy. \nIn the 1940s\, Grant made several very well-received action pictures. \nAnd then\, in the 1950s\, he transitioned into dramatic roles.

SUMMARY:Best Films Never To Win An Oscar
DESCRIPTION:What do “The Shawshank Redemption\,”  “It’s A Wonderful Life\,” “Vertigo\,” “The Maltese Falcon\,” “Dr. Strangelove\,” &  “Double Indemnity” have in common? Two things. First\, each is considered to be one of the greatest movies ever made. Second\, neither received even a single Oscar! It’s hard to believe\, but the list of snubs of great films by the Academy Awards is long\, surprising\, and inexplicable. \n This one-of-a-kind presentation features numerous film clips\, interesting details about the production and reception of these classic films\, and fascinating anecdotes about the films. We will attempt to explain how and why Oscar missed recognizing some of the greatest films ever made!
