The best part about Broadbent's win is that the movie has only $3.3 million in US box office and has been shown in only 141 theaters (only 4 until Broadbent, Winslett and Dench were nominated). ABC's got enough ratings problems than to have Hollywood handing out awards to movies that have been seen by less than 350,000 people in the entire US. Reruns on PAX get many times bigger audiences than 350,000. *g*
Why give an award to the lead in a movie with $800 million in world-wide box office when you can give it to the most obscure guy? *g*

$800 million? Sexy Beast? Really? No, I don't think so.
