To: My Favorite Headache

The 3 facts to pay attention here that make the Academy Awards absolutely pointless:

1. No award has ever been given to Martin Scorsese
2. The Passion of The Christ received no awards and no major nominations.
3. Joaquin Phoenix did not win Best Actor and Walk The Line was not nominated for Best Picture.





Fact 4: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly didn't recieve a single nomination for anything-even the haunting musical score by Ennio Morricone(that was the year I stopped watching).

Fact 5: john Wayne wasn't given an Oscar for either The High & The Mighty or Red River (or Stagecoach, for that matter).

Anyone have any more?

Kevin Bacon wasn't nominated for Best Actor for 'Murder In The First'. An excellent movie. He should have won, but wasn't even nominated. I don't recall if the movie was nominated or not.
