The Bob Fosse Musical which won 9 Oscars in the same year that saw Godfather I win only 3. It was a real shocker. Not even director Coppola won as best director... Cabaret, based on the play I AM A CAMERA was a humongous hit on Broadway and at the movies, but it's not a piece that has ever been close to my heart. I will admit Liza Minelli was up to snuff! But to give the Oscar for supporting player to Joel Grey for one of his extremely few movie roles as the M. C. was a bit of a farce to me. All he did was sing and dance a bit on that small stage. Al Pacino should have won as Michael in the Godfather... As said, the entire theme based on Berlin Stories which then became a play and movie was simply not up my alley. I enjoyed it somewhat, but not enough compared to the rave reviews of the day. LIZA never went on to do anything remotely better than Cabaret, which speaks volumes of her other work!
