Oscar Loves...A Rematch

The gang gather to discuss how Hollywood loves a do-over. With a potential rematch between Barry Jenkins and Damien Chazelle at next year's Oscars, we revisit another classic Academy Awards rematch.

In 1951 A Streetcar Named Desire, directed by Elia Kazan was tipped to win Best Picture, with Marlon Brando a shoo-in for Best Actor. But it was not to be. An American Paris, directed by Vincente Minelli took the prize, and to the shock of the public, Humphrey Bogart shut out Brando, winning his only Oscar for The African Queen. Three years later, Kazan and Brando were back with On The Waterfront and hungry for vindication.
