I’m just really surprised to find out that “Shakespere in Love” and “Saving Private Ryan” are from the same year.

I’m like really confused right now.

FWIW I saw SIL, it was a cute movie, not best picture standard by any means (see my comment about “sideways” above).

But look at last year (or the year before) when “The Hurt Locker” won and also when “Juno” won.

Now, I didn’t see “The Hurt Locker” (was that best picture? I think so)or “Saving Private Ryan” I really don’t like war movies and I don’t think “Juno” won best picture.

But I think these were 2 movies that expressed some very conservative values (definitely Juno did, excellent movie, totally pro-life) and won major awards. To the astonishment of many if not most in the audience.

So, all hope is NOT LOST, that is my point.

I’m going back and watching Steve & Sammy again.

Yes I am.

Now, I didn’t see “The Hurt Locker” (was that best picture? I think so)or “Saving Private Ryan” I really don’t like war movies and I don’t think “Juno” won best picture.

The Hurt Locker beat out Precious for Best Pic - and it was a crime!

You should see Saving Private Ryan, if only for the historical aspect. The Longest Day was good - but it DID NOT show the REALITY of what happened on Omaha Beach like SPR did. Vets of Omaha Beach [who lived] say it was EXACTLY like that - Hell On Earth ...

If you ever saw Band Of Brothers - the combat scenes in SPR are EXACTLY like it, only MORE intense ...

BTW: Gwyneth Paltrow from SIL won Best Actress and beat out Cate Blanchett as Elizabeth I in the movie Elizabeth - laughable ...

ALSO, Judi Dench [Elizabeth I in SIL] beat out Lynn Redgrave [Gods And Monsters] - even though she had ONLY 7 minutes screen time. What a crock ...
