In my opinion, "Mary Poppins" should have won Best Picture, Best Director and Best Cinematography over "My Fair Lady". I liked "My Fair Lady", but I think "Mary Poppins" is not only the greatest Disney film ever made, I actually think it's the greatest musical film ever made! Plus it would have been amazing to see Walt Disney win a Best Picture Academy Award!
Mary Poppins from 1964 was the nr. 1 succes movie of 1965! It was in cinema for over 18 months! Julie Andrews got competition from Julie Andrews that year, when the sound of music was released ( that was in cinema for almost 3 years!)
