1. Is it me, or has the Acadamy gotten way too picky about movies?
I mean, I remember not long ago, a goofy movie about a pig was dominating at the Oscars. Now, it seems like you can't even get considered for anything without being ultra-artsy, having a central character with mental illness, or spending a couple hundred million on effects (and it's still rare for that last case).
Moreover, nearly everything comedic is totally overlooked. (I attribute that from the too-common inability to laugh these days... and not even in attempts to take things seriously, but in attempts to PRETEND to make things seriously.)
I'm really starting to like the Globes a lot better than the Oscars these days.
