MUSICALS AT THE OSCARS

The Hollywood Academy was always fond of Movie Musicals and through the years they had given that genre several Oscars. So here is a list, as complete as possible (and probably with unwanted mistakes), of all the Movie Musicals (comedies, dramas, biographies) that won Oscars or that were nominated for more than one Oscar.

The list goes from the present to the past and I hope it’ll bring you as many memories and surprises as it brought me.
