We take a look back at the Oscar awards given to the films from 1980. We re-access the nominations and winners with the advantage that time has given us. With the additional years of access, reputation, and repeated viewings, we right the perceived wrongdoings that The Academy Awards perpetrated at the time the awards were handed out. With this power, we Re-Award the Oscars to our favorite films and performers, as well as shine a light on some alternate nominations where we believe someone or some film was overlooked.   We also present our own awards for:   Best Original Film of the Year that was also a financial hit (Top 15 grosser for 1980)   Nominations: 9 to 5, Stir Crazy, Airplane, Private Benjamin, Coal Miner’s Daughter, Blue Lagoon, Urban Cowboy, Seems Like Old Times   Most Influential Film of the Year (culture, film trends/genres, technology, etc.)   Nominations: Airplane, Blues Brothers, Mad Max, Heaven’s Gate, Gloria   Best Use of a Song in a Movie (Does NOT have to be originally made for the film)   Nominations: Fame (Fame), 9 to 5 (9 to 5), I’m Alright (Caddyshack), Call Me (American Gigolo), Respect (Blues Brothers), All Over the World (Xanadu)   Wild Card Category: Best Jamie Lee Curtis Horror Movie from 1980   Nominations: Terror Train, The Fog, Prom Night
