Jason,
I totally agree with the disappointment you must have felt when Almost Famous didn't get nominated. Though it did get nominated for some things, to me it wasn't enough. That movie really made me feel something. I see a lot of movies every year, and unlike some other people, I actually respect the Oscars, so I thought for sure that Cameron Crowe would be recognized. I was practically in tears when the first movie announced was Chocolat. I really wanted to tell you that I thought the movie was something great. Greater than anything I have seen in a long, long time. Great enough to see 10 times at the movies and still be thirsty for more. Great enough to think about days, and months after seeing it for the last time. I thought your work was fantastic, and Cameron Crowe is amazing as always. By far I thought it was his greatest movie, and for me, a close tie with Chasing Amy for movies that you were in. You must be so proud to have done such a fantastic job in such an outstanding movie. Thank you for making this movie and renewing my faith in the movie industry!
