although i personally like woody allen as a director (see "purple rose of cairo" or "crimes and misdemeanors" for more serious examples of his best work or "sleepers" and "whats up tiger lily" for his most humorous) I would agree that annie hall wasnt that great.
I thought dianne keaton put on a weak performance, the script was fairly shallow, and no one ever accused allen himself of being a good actor.
Overall, i think it must have been a pretty pathetic year, film-wise, for this flick to win best picture.
: That since Annie Hall won for Best Picture, and Best director, that it is a fact that it is a great film.
: any comments on this? I personally think it's a stupid thing to say. Personally I really don't like Woody Allen, and I didn't like Annie Hall.
: thanks.
