WORST WIN since “Shakespeare In Love” beat out “Saving Private Ryan” for Best Pic ...

I would say "American Beauty" winning was the worst, but that would be a close second.

Hmmm ... forgot about that one.

Best speech tonite was the Japanese guy who won for foreign language film (Departure?) ... short, to the point, and humble.

NOT that drivel that Spicoli spewed ...

Agreed the year that American Beauty and Ciderhouse Rules won all the awards was the year I finally understood how unremitting hostile Hollywood was to traditional Judaeo-Christian morality, and how self-consciously nihilistic their embraced alternative really was.

I think I’ve been to the movies three or four times since.

Nah. Worst win of recent years was that STUPID Hobbit movie. Wanna talk about gay subtexts.

Be a man, SHOOT a Hobbit!
