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 ...
But you see, I don’t like war movies!
That is awful that Dench beat Redgrave for best supporting (that was the award, right?)
Btw, Lynn Redgrave’s fantastic in “Georgie Girl” a big hit movie that seems to have fallen out of memory. Although the song was a huge hit, maybe it won an award. That is also an excellent pro-life movie.
