The '50s and early '60s were rough years for Hollywood, resulting in the birth of New Hollywood (or the American New Wave, if you prefer) in the last few years of the 1960s. Bonnie and Clyde (1967), typically cited as the defining film of this new era, was nominated but didn't win. If/when I get around to a New Hollywood version of this game, you might get thematic whiplash while reading the plot summaries from the 1970s -- let's just say the era of straitlaced period dramas and family-friendly musicals fizzled out quickly.
