The Oscar / int_2e3ab929 | comment |
Assumed Win: Frankie stands up when presenter Merle Oberon announces "the winner is Frank Sinatra!"note Truth in Television: Frank Capra dashed up the stage in 1934 to grab the Oscar meant for Frank Lloyd. It didn't help that the presenter, Will Rogers, was a joker who proclaimed "come and get it, Frank!" | |

Drama Bomb | |
The Oscar / int_8fda1d64 | comment |
Drama Bomb: Hymie reveals to Frankie that Laurel died years ago miscarrying Frankie's baby. One suspects the plot twist was going to be a botched abortion but there may have been a reluctance to mention abortion in a 1966 film. | |

Horrible Hollywood: Tries a little too hard to invoke this trope and ends up as Narm. | |
