GarboForever - Garbo's Awards

Today, there are dozens of well known and well respected film awards. When Garbo and her peers began working in films, there were no Academy Awards, no New York Film Critics Awards, no National Board of Review Awards, no SAG, no Cannes, etcetera…

So, if Garbo and her films seem lacklustre in their received Awards, it's because they can't be compared to a Meryl Streep. Streep wins so many awards because there are so many more to win. Considering the time, Garbo and her films did relatively well. The first “Awards” I can find documentation for are the Photoplay magazine awards; and, the popular “Ten Best” lists. Garbo films did not win any of the Photoplay Medals (begun in 1920).

Garbo's Awards – By Wes Connors –

Preface
Here are the “Awards” I've found for Greta Garbo, and her films. To assemble this list, I looked through several books in my library. Most notable are Cobbett Steinberg's Reel Facts, Michael Gebert's The Encyclopedia of Movie Awards, and Tom O'Neil's Movie Awards. However, there were several other books – some, I've lost track of presently. Additionally, there are two databases on the Internet, the IMDB and “The Envelope Please”. If you start with these books and sites, you'll have an idea about all of this. Introduction
