1955: Marty

And now we take you on a drastic turn away from the darkness of On The Waterfront to one of the most charming and delightful movies to take the top award: Marty. Originally produced as a tax write-off, Marty would win four Academy Awards and launch the career of its star Ernest Borgnine. 1955 also marked the first posthumous acting nomination for James Dean. Tune in to hear our take.
