Another strong year from the 1960s. I'd have pushed for additional technical nominations for 'Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice', particularly trend-setting, bestselling costume design for Moss Mabry.

This is the year that the academy loved Burt Bacharach and I could not stand him. I did not like his music score for Butch Cassidy and I truly, truly, truly hated that Raindrops song.

I would have chosen Anne of the Thousand Days or The Wild Bunch for original dramatic score. And for song I would have chosen Come Saturday Morning from The Sterile Cuckoo.

It is a shame that Lucien Ballard did not get a nomination for at least one of the 2 movies he had in the list.

I would have chosen The Wild Bunch.

It kills me that Marooned won visual effects over Krakatoa, East of Java.

I am extremely happy that Anne of the Thousand Days won for the best costume design. I love the costumes in this movie. Probably my all-time favorite costumes.
