::....something has got to be nominated though, right? There really haven't
been any films this year with true value.
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM
DANCER IN THE DARK
RATCATCHER
CHUCK & BUCK
BEAU TRAVAIL
etc., etc., etc.
I'd argue that there were plenty of worthy films this year, it's just that
the Academy ignored most of them. The Oscars are a joke and this year
pretty much confirms that moreso than any other year in recent memory.
It's best that they just be ignored- well, except for Bjork and Thom Yorke
performing "I've Seem It All"- I'll tune in to watch that.
I did like ERIN BROCKOVICH a whole lot though, and haven't seen CROUCHING
TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON yet so they might have gotten that right too.
