Notes:
SKIPPY competed in the 1930-31 Oscars because the award was not given
on a calendar year schedule at that time.
A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN competed in the 1970 Oscars; I don't know the
circumstances but I assume that its Los Angeles release did not occur
until 1970.
All other movies listed competed in the Oscars for their year of
release as listed above.
Thanks to Chris Lee for providing information used in this list.

What, no Howard The Duck? I loved that movie (and the comics)! Critics
don't know quality when it quacks right at them.

You and I are two of the 16 people who saw that movie, and the only two
AFAIK who liked it ..

Did the market ever stabilize for HTD#1? It was one of the first
books to get bid up beyond all reason.

The Cola SC "The State" actually carried the HTD comic strip for a
few months in the late 70s to the bemusement of most everyone
involved. IIRC, the villian of the run we got was "Pop Psych". The 70s:
gotta love 'em.

A lot more than 16 people *saw* it, but only 16 will *admit* to it
today.

I think you can pick them up for less than original cover. A quick
look at Ebay shows several listed with no bids on them.
