I have a liberal friend who recommended Capote to me. LOL
The past few years I've stayed away from R-rated movies for obvious reasons.
IMO 'Phantom of the Opera' deserved recognition, but the critics didn't seem to like it. I liked it enough to buy it, and I don't do that too often.
There are no surprises here. Hollywood is so transparent that there is no need to watch the Oscars.
