Best Pic: Grand Hotel
A 1932 MGM pre-code Art Deco Film, directed by Edmund Goulding.
Starring:
Greta Garbo as Grusinskaya (面临事业危机的俄国芭蕾舞女星)
John Barrymore as Baron Felix von Geigern (嗜赌男爵)
Lewis Stone as Dr. Otternschlag
Joan Crawford as Flaemmchen
Wallace Beery as Preysing (企业家)
Lionel Barrymore as Otto Kringelein (患上绝症小人物)
The plot device of the film—bringing together several unrelated characters into one setting—was popular and effective enough that it was re-used in other films and became known as "the Grand Hotel" formulaThe "all-star" scenario was perhaps most successfully replicated the following year in MGM's own Dinner At Eight.
The film opens and closes with Lewis Stone's totally unaware statement :
"Grand Hotel. People come and go. Nothing ever happens".
The comment turns out to be ironic during the few days in which the plot unfolds, because everything seems to be happening at the hotel, from romance to robbery to an accidental death.
