re: Bigger Oscar Sham: Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan or Annie Hall

Youre generally right about snubs in the past although people here will never admit it. That said, the Academy has more than made up for it in recent years and one year is not cause for some outrage. It would be more demeaning to have some quota system in place.

Secondly, Hollywood blacks seem to think they have some monopoly on the minority roles that we are supposed to be outraged which is outrageous itself. This whole faux outrage isn't about 'hey where are all the multicultural films and actors?,' it's 'Hey why don't more black people get nominated.'
