How the West was Won
1963 Nominee

100 Words
Even in the west, which may have been won, THE BEST was won by another this year and I can see why, what an eyesore. Do I need more? No, that’s plenty.

There’s a mountain man whose accent suggests he should be screaming, “Merry Christmas, movie house,” after a guardian angel saves him. Gregory Peck plays a player. Someone gets shot during the Civil War (duh). And then there’s some whitewashing at the end.

In summation: Celebrity over substance; get rich or die trying; murder anyone in your way; make sure that you’re white.

That’s how the west was won.
