The 2nd Academy Awards (Films of 1928/1929)

We're covering our last Academy Awards of the 20's! The nominees were: Alibi, The Broadway Melody, The Hollywood Review of 1929, In Old Arizona, and The Patriot*. We also discuss the non-nominees The Cameraman and The Wild Party and briefly touch on Steamboat Willie.

*The Patriot is the only lost Best Picture nominee, so we did not cover it. Because we couldn't. So...there's that.
