There are many classics that went on to take home the top prize at the Oscars. And there are those that, well ... let's just say that we still shake our heads why certain films got on the Academy voters' good graces in such a way that they were chosen as Best Picture of that year. At the fourth Academy Awards ceremony, Cimarron was selected as the best film. However, after almost a century later the question isn't really if it deserved it, the question is "how could that have happened?" Well, this Wesley Ruggles epic does have the scope and the stars to at least attempt to justify its win. The writing, technical aspects, and the acting say otherwise.

Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he evaluates everything that has to do with Cimarron, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1930.

In a year when there were many good films, but few that really were incredible, Martin Scorsese was the big winner at the Oscars ... and for the first time in his career. He finally won Best Director for his gang film about deception, loyalty, and even rats. The Departed is one hell of a ride. A great script, incredible performances by an A-list cast, and memorable scenes make this a truly special film. However, looking back almost two decades, did the Academy get it right? Was it deserving of the Best Picture prize?

Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about The Departed, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 2006.
