That is the second time I have heard of these movies. I still think the Oscars, and those who nominate these movies are a huge, huge joke. I may not be a movie student.. but Shakespeare in Love comes to mind here.That was a "critical darling" of a movie too, wasn't it?

Shakespeare in Love was a wonderful movie and a deserving winner.

The five nominated films are all quite good. Million Dollar Baby is great. and Jamie Fox as Ray Charles in Ray is astounding.

I agree wholeheartedly. The oversight of the classic Saving Private Ryan in 1998 in favor of the cute but slight Shakespeare in Love was one of the Academy's biggest screw-ups in the 1990's. But like the man said at the end of Some Like It Hot "Well, nobody's perfect."
