Resumo'What's with all these awards?' asks Alvy Singer, the central protagonist in Woody Allen's 1977 film Annie Hall. 'They're always giving out awards. Best Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler.' Despite its ridicule of award culture, Annie Hall went on to win a slew of its own, including Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and a Best Actress accolade for Diane Keaton's iconic performance as the title character. The film marked a significant shift in Allen's directorial career, as he moved away from his often-absurd Marx Brothers-style slapstick comedies that began with the mockumentary Take the Money and Run (1969). Allen himself knowingly referred to this development in Stardust Memories (1980) when his central filmmaker character is told 'We like your movies - especially the early, funny ones.'
