The performances by Elijay Wood, Sean Astin, Sean Bean!!!, and Viggo Mortenson especially deserve Oscars for their actual value as what they are, Great Performances!! But because not a one of them is perverse, degenerate or homosexually explicit, they won't be given any credit where they are due. Not by Hollywood anyway.

I am not so bitter as you, you know! (Hopeless optimist alert) Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicolson, many of the names that have lasted a long time and didn't burn out, have pretty classy reputations. It doesn't hurt, certainly, to be part of a focus group, in that crowd, but I do think if you are clean, not only are you still well respected, but they also seem to last longer. I have hope!
