And, gracious-- he was apparently both effusive
and genuine in his congratulations to Sean Penn.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Penn´s a good actor, he´s really worked at himself in that respect
IMO and I haven´t seen the film but I´m sure it was well deserved. Not something I always think of the actual
winners. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Sean
Penn finally got recoginized. All the people there knew he deserved it.
He should have gotten it for Dead
Man Walking.
BTW, Lord of the Rings makes no sense, and no I didn\'t read the book, nor will I ever.

There might have been a little artistic politics involved, is the
consensus. Because the flick was gorgeous, but too long-- some people loved it, some found it \"the best cure for
insomnia.\" I couldn\'t watch the whole thing, myself. Billy Crystal got in a couple of digs about the length.
There has been an ongoing issue that no sci-fi/fantasy flick has ever been seriously considered for an academy
award. Nominations, but no wins.
Spielberg was dissed by the academy for a long time, because they pronounced
his flicks \"too comic book.\" So, he came back and shoved \"Schindler\'s List\" up their noses. Since then,
he has been taken very seriously.
There is some discussion re: whether Sofia Coppola is really that good a
director, yet, too. But, no woman has ever hitherto won, either.
