Another easy one - The Prodigal with Lana Turner and Edmund Purdom gets my vote.
Worst Actor: Kirk Douglas, Ulysses, The Indian Fighter
Worst Actress: Debbie Reynolds, Hit the Deck, Susan Slept Here
First Award for Crude Symbolism: The fireworks in mounting crescendo as a backdrop for Grace Kelly and Cary Grant in their big scene in To Catch a Thief
Most Pathetic Remnant of a Vanishing Race: Victor Mature as Chief Crazy Horse in the movie of the same title
The Bosco Award (in recognition of the science of geriatrics): June Allyson, who with eternally girlish hominess, an aura of fresh-baked deep-dish apple pie like Mother used to make, and an endless supply of tears, bravely but vainly attempts to resist the onslaught of the passing years.
