At last, the Oscars are over. No more aimless speculation. No more top frock features. No more film trivia quizzes. Well, just one more. In 1967 the nominees for Best Picture were Bonnie and Clyde, Doctor Dolittle, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? and In the Heat of the Night. Which one won? Tricky, eh? Quite an eclectic selection. Quite a face-off. In fact, writes Mark Harris - ex-editor of Entertainment Weekly - there was snarling in the aisles the night of the ceremony.
