The Oscars, to me at least, are as discredited as the Grammy Awards. If you want to use an awards show or festival to dictate your movie tates (which you shouldnt in the first place) try to follow what is going on at the Berlin or Venice film festivals.

CRASH is a terrible film. At first I liked it, then after watching it again I wanted to punch myself in the face. I fell for Paul Haggis' trick like a rube.
MYSTIC RIVER is a good film and got nominated because 2003 was weaker than the UM hoops team.
