Listen "108: True Grit (1969) and Midnight Cowboy (1969)"
Episode Synopsis
Text Matt & Adam!Oscar mistakes is the theme for the next few weeks. In 1970, John Wayne won Best Actor for his role in "True Grit" (1969) and Dustin Hoffman did not for "Midnight Cowboy". John Wayne played Rooster Cogburn as John Wayne, except for an eye patch. Dustin Hoffman should have won for his portrayal of Ratso Rizzo, a New York City down and outer who befriends a Texas cowboy hustler named Joe Buck (Jon Voight). Much better film too.Next mistake. 1989, "Driving Miss Daisy" wins Best Picture; "Do the Right Thing" should have.Thanks for listening!Did we get something wrong? Have your own recommendations?
