The Academy successfully overlooking some really good pertinent films and performances from this year as usual. Where was a nod for 'Shame', its lead Michael Fassbinder and Director Steve McQueen, no nod for Thomas Alfredson for the outstanding Tinker Tailor, Nothing for Charlize Theron for her part in 'Young Adult', nor for writer Diablo Cody. After Bob Richardson picked up his award the only other highlight was A Seperation wining Best Foreign film.
The whole thing was hopelessly out of touch as usual. I can't help/hope feeling that its building up to a repeat of the time when Hollywood thought people wanted western themed musicals but Hopper et al knew they wanted Easy Rider, Godfather, French Connection.
