Grand Hotel (1932): 5th Oscar Winner for Best Picture

Grand Hotel (1932)

Following Cimarron, this was fairly much the same, except the storyline was something I couldn't effectively follow or understand. All I know is that there were a lot of phones and phone calls involved and there was a hotel. No idea what it was about, but it seemed like an okay storyline if you did understand what was going on. Feel free to watch it for yourself, and if you can understand what's going on, let me know. Good if you like lots of people using telephones in a hotel setting.

Why did it win Best Picture? The only thing I can think of is that there were a lot of telephones used in the film in a hotel.
