The Oscars

Not that there is any need to add to the all too much commentary about the Oscars, but I was disappointed Vera Drake didn't get a look in, though perhaps just the fact that Imelda Staunton was nominated for best actress is in itself significant enough. Also my other favorite film of the year A Very Long Engagement - didn't get anything either. And what's up with the fact that Martin Scorsese has never received the Oscar but his catalog of work is pretty darned impressive, who else alive today can rival that - not Clint Eastwood anyway. That's my 10 cents worth.
