The 1945 nominees have kicked off with a doozy of a musical comedy. Anchors Aweigh stars Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly as two sailors just trying to find a couple of girls to hook up with while on leave from the Navy for a few days, until they are somehow drawn into babysitting, the Hollywood studio business, and a Tom and Jerry cartoon (no, that’s not a metaphor for anything). It’s a wild ride, but is it a movie?
