to "me" that many Oscars mean just one thing, stay far far away. It was a movie explicitly designed for the acedemy. It wasn't meant to be enjoyed. It's a sure sign that it's poor & this rule of thumb is having less exceptions every year. The Oscars have become a marketting gimmick. If they design a picture that sweaps the Oscars & manage to have it still playing, they can clean up by the gullible masses. Not me, not anymore, too many flops & utter failures later, I'm on to them.

My experience with people who hate successful films is that there are other underlying issues not mentioned.
Example- Many of the Titanic Haters crowd will fess up and admit their Star Wars obsession afterward. I don't know why that is, just happens alot.
Hey, I totally disagree with everything you mentioned but I'm enjoying the forum at this site. No problemo.

  1st, you can keep the Phantom Menace too.
  But, is there something wrong with this statewment? hmmm...
  Perhaps, it's because Star Wars was successful?! I'll step out on a limb here & say it may just be a contradiction. Ya think?
  Nah, can't be ... that would mean you have some unresolved issues.
  I just want something intelligent fun & entertaining. Ya know ... like the beginning of Titanic. That was rivoting. The rest .... how did it go again?
  But, I guess that's too much to ask of hollywood these days.
