Actually, I think what was bothering him was that Dreamworks didn't run a huge Oscar campaign for the movie, like many other studios did...Miramax is famous for their Oscar campaigns...And while yes, Almost Famous did get nominations, it didn't get nominated in any of the big 6 categories...and that is unfortunate. And it makes you wonder what would happen if the Oscars split films into two categories: comedy/musical and drama like the golden globes do...And, I don't think Lee was bitching...I think he was just expressing his disappointment on a board where he considers his fans friends and sympathetic.

: Jason,
: You're right, I have never met you, heck, I don't know you at all. However based on what you wrote in your post and considering this is the second time I have seen a post similar to this one, what else is a person to gather that your gripe was about?
: I think you are a talented actor, no one is denying that. When you bitch about the Academy in the way you did, it does appear you are pissed because you didn't get a nomination.
: AF got four nominations plus two Golden Globes, the press about is favourable, people clearly enjoy the movie. What else do you want?
: Regards
