For my sixth and final Film and Literature paper, I decided to hold my very own personal award show. While many of the films and books we have been exposed to have already been granted a number of prestigious awards, I figured that none would be as thrilling or as truthful as the awards I could bestow. So without any further delay, the Ginny L. Snow awards shall be presented to
Best Movie: A Streetcar Named Desire director Elia Kazan
And now for the fun awards...
