The bitter complaints that the Oscars had been slipping lately, led me to recall the great number of dogs that had been honored in earlier years as well. "Why then pay attention to the Oscars?" you ask. Precisely."Just look at AuPh's list. How many on it would you place on your 100 best? 5? 3? I mean - Erin Brockovich?" Exactly.
But my post got the thick-skulled tinear acting all priggish, so it wasn't time wasted.

Now you're saying that posting this list was more for an energy boost, sort of like a B1 shot? You need to make up your mind and either change doctors or get a second opinion! ;^)As for "the bitter complaints that the Oscars had been slipping lately," who's complaints are those? Certainly not mine! The Oscars polled very well this year and Billy Crystal's emceeing was superb; most of the folks I know thought that the Academy Awards as a presentation were far better this year than they'd been in several previous years.
If you are speculating about the quality of films the Academy has to choose from, then we're discussing subjective opinions, and while I would agree that Hollywood relies too much on franchised sequels and remakes, there's still an abundence of quality filmfare being produced in the English language.
