My Two Cents
Wow, Sydney Poitier with two Best Picture nominations, yet he wasn't nominated for Best Actor (but his costars Rob Steiger, Spencer Tracy and Cecil Kellaway were all nominated)… I think it's clear that America was grappling with its racist past in 1967, as well as watching the young generation slip into a new state of ennui. Although In the Heat of the Night is a good movie, I think that I would've picked The Graduate to win Best Picture. Also, why the heck was Doctor Dolittle nominated??
