Proving once again that they might be fine people, they just don't really care about filmmaking the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have somehow decided that Chicago was a finer example of a film than Adaptation, that Diane Lane gave a better performance in "Unfaithful" than Meryl Streep did in "The Hours" and that Nia Vardolos's script for My Big Fat Greek Wedding was a better piece of writing than all but 9 other films for the whole year?
Honestly, if I were a creative person who was ever possibly nominated for an Oscar, I'm not sure how honored I'd be? Would it mean that I performed my job well or that they liked what I was wearing to the Golden Globes?
On a few positives, Spike Jonez continues to tear up hollywood and Eminem is now Oscar-Nominated(In the Academy 1,000,000th attempt to look hip with a token nomination for an important songwriter before they give it to Rod Stewart or Phil Collins)
