"Cabaret" is many things, not the least of which is the answer to a question sure to stump friends on trivia night: "What film won the most Oscars while losing the Best Picture race?" I posed this to myself on the most recent night of the Academy Awards, as the expected sweep of "La La Land" became less secure and it wound up losing the Big One to "Moonlight" ... though I suspect in the decades to come people are more likely to remember the colossal screw-up rather than the movies themselves.
