In years to come the PTA snub this year will be more controversial than the Affleck snub. Like how no one gives a shit that the Driving Miss Daisy guy was snubbed that year but bitch about how Spike Lee was ignored.
It's so epically awesome. The music, the cinematography etc, etc. I can never decided which performance I like best. Sometimes I think Tom Cruise, sometimes I think William Macy, sometimes I think John Reily, sometimes I think Julianne Moore, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Ooo, Magnolia is my favourite! You were talking about Robert Altman and that one feels kinda Altmany. Hard Eight is good, excellent performances especially from Baker Hall and Sam Jackson.
Well since Zeitlin is my favorite of the nominees I'd obviously disagree. I think what he and Bigelow did was both hugely challenging for different reasons and they both succeeded to my mind. The way he took on serious issues with that kind of fairytale quality is wonderful.
I'm surprised none of the Oscar campaigners this year have brought this up - it was only reported a year ago!
