1933 Endy Awards

In conjunction with the year-end episode of The George Sanders Show, looking back 80 years at the best films of 1933, here are my choices for award winners in the various Oscar-type categories for that year. I haven't done any of these for awhile, but in the Endy Awards Index you can find entries for 2011, 1932, 1939, 1964, 1957 and 1994, along with a bunch of much older, less good award posts. Eligibility is determined by imdb date and by whether or not I've seen the movie in question. Nominees are listed in alphabetical order and the winners are bolded. And the Endy goes to. . .
