It’s Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode for this series 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 63rd Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 1990. It was held March 25th 1991 (the year of Anders's birth) at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by Billy Crystal.

Kevin Costner's Dances with Wolves, which went head to head with Martin Scorsese's film Goodfellas, won 7 Oscars out of the 12 nominations it got. It was also the year Kathy Bates won a Best Actress Oscar for her mesmerising performance in Misery. Ghost, starring Demi Moore, went home with two Oscars. One for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Whoopi Goldberg.

How do you think we would have done things that night? Listen here to find out.
