Why is there an award named after Ian McLellan Hunter? His single most distinguished credit was for a film he didn't even write, ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953), on which he served as a "front" for the blacklisted Dalton Trumbo. The rest of Hunter's credits are mostly for B-movies and decidedly minor works. Granted, I find some of them interesting, esp. THE COURAGEOUS DR. CHRISTIAN (1940), and I do have a soft spot for his later fantasy film, CAPTAIN SINDBAD (1963), directed by Byron Haskin, but if there's an overriding reason for naming an award after him I can't fathom it. Unless there are some good works he was involved with that are not reflected in his IMDB filmography. I'm curious to know more.
