Nolte: What Should’ve Won the Best Picture Oscar – 1960 to 1969 20 Apr 2021 In part five of this series we look at the movies that should have won the Best Picture Oscar between 1960 and 1969. Let’s begin… The Apartment Director, co-writer Billy Wilder took home all kinds of Oscars for his heartwarming look at life as a corporate drone in Manhattan as told through a poignant love affair between Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. Gorgeously shot in black and white widescreen, but like so many classic movies, the script is so good the story worked just as well on a 13-inch black and white TV.
