I am going to rant a bit more about the way the Academy is screwing up the Oscars. Instead of looking at and appreciating movies with a good plot and interesting characters like About Schmidt, Adapatation, and others we have this record breaking nominations for a musical that is nothing but flash. Over-the-top musical performances that break into a courtroom scene disrupt any good acting that could possibly exist in such a mess. I myself have only liked two movie adaptations of musicals: Fiddler on the Roof and Godspell. And on another category, Diane Lane is nominated for Best Actress for being in a lukewarm romantic suspense with no substance. The big business movie poison that affects most movies during the year really should not invade the Super Bowl of movie awards. Hopefully the final winners will be the real films as opposed to everyday movies.
