It’s the Alternative Oscars! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked. This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 32nd Academy Awards. It was held April 4th 1960 at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California and hosted by Bob Hope. The big winner that night was William Wyler's epic swords and sandals film Ben Hur starring Charlton Heston, who went home with a Best Actor Oscar that night. It won 11 Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, over films like Anatomy of a Murder, The Nun's Story, The Diary of Anne Frank and Room at the Top.
