March usually means three things to us bastions of popular culture knowledge: March Madness, the Oscars and Wrestlemania. In the coming weeks, look for my annual melding of wrestling and the NCAA basketball tournament (which probably generated the most amount of mail I've ever gotten, for what it's worth). This time around, let's have a little fun with our favorite sport and our favorite movie awards. Note: These are all real film titles, most of which have actually been nominated for Oscars.
