The Telluride Film Festival history project got a new addition today. Many of you know that I have been working for the past few months to unofficially document Telluride's impact on the Oscars since the fests inception in 1974.
I have included multiple posts over the past few months to that end and today have added that work its own page on this blog.
Want to know how many Oscar nominations 12 Years a Slave had? You can find out on the new page. How many nominations did TFF films have in total in 1998? It's on the page.
Have fun and if you find an error...and don't be surprised when that happens...drop me a line and let me know. I'll get it corrected post haste.
