Barbara Nicolosi pretty much sums up my feelings (although I did like Sideways):
So, this year, the top Oscar nominations have gone to
...a movie that makes a hero out of a man who murders his adopted daughter.
...a movie that makes a hero out of an abortionist.
...a movie that makes a hero out of a discredited researcher who was obsessed with sex and encouraged many others to experiment with various perversions.
...a movie that lionizes a billionaire narcissist who died insane from syphilis.
...a movie that suggests it is funny when an engaged man sets off for a week of debauchery before his marriage with his drunkard best friend.
...a movie that glamorizes four alley cats dressed as beautiful people who fornicate and commit adultery with each other, and indulge in various sexual perversions until the movie ends.
...a movie that makes a hero out of a paraplegic in despair who wants to kill himself.
What makes this year's noms even darker is the fact that there was this one big cinematic elephant out there that, as we all predicted, was passed over for all the top awards. This movie was:
...the biggest independent movie in cinema history.
...the third biggest box-office movie of the year.
...a movie that moved millions of people to tears, had the entire world talking, and even led several murderers to turn themselves in!
...the most courageous directoral achievement since Citizen Kane.
...which just happened to be the story of the redemption of the world by the Son of God.
Too bad. Call it the revenge of the blue states.
