It's like the Nobel Peace Prize. That one no longer has anything to do with Peace. Now, it's about "social justice". And the Award for Best Picture is no longer about good, crowd pleasing movies destined to be seen as classics. Now, it's about "Social Justice".

I detect a theme. I second the notion that the award be renamed the "Karl".

Or in this case, it may be more appropriate to name it the "Hot Karl".

IMHO Bareback Mountain looks like a romantic comedy. Paraphrasing the Pogue Colonel charactor in Full Metal Jacket "Inside every movie there is a comedy trying to get out."
