Who watches Around the World in 80 Days anymore?

Not me! I don't think I've ever seen it once, and I have no desire to.

The other Best Picture nominees were "Giant", "The King And I" and "Friendly Persuasion".

George Stevens won Best Director for "Giant".

Best Actor went to Yul Brenner for "The King And I".

Best Actress went to Ingrid Bergman for "Anastasia".

'55 was a watershed year for movies. Another one of my favorites "Bad Day At Black Rock" was made that year and it was snubbed by the Academy. Shows what they know.
