Whoa Hoss. Whatever Greenglass's political leanings, from what I've read here, he did a bangup job on this film and my hat is off to him.

My point is that when it comes to awards (and I'm talking Golden Globes, Academy), Hollywood is obviously picking films with their own political leanings to win them. For instance, the people I've known who've seen Brokeback Mountain said it was OK, but not anything extraordinary in filmmaking. Yet it was gushed over at the Golden Globes, award wise and in the running at the Academy Awards.

There was a movie issued and I can't remember its name after 9/11 where the villians were changed from Muslim terrorists to ultra right wing radicals. It was based on a Tom Clancy book.

In an industry of uber politically correct writers, actors, directors and all, Greenglass is a brave rarity.

Yet I will be surprised - pleasantly, mind you - if he and his film are honored for more than just one of the minor (for lack of a better word) awards.

You might be thinking of "The Sum of All Fears"
