Comments
so what. The moives arent very good or intresting. where is the 23 mill that was suppose to be for chairty?
The animated feature has good movies,
the top three action movies and Tropic
Thunder. The Dark Knight and Wall-E
for best picture. Most of the rest of
them aren't even worth renting the dvd.
They wonder why people aren't watching
awards shows as much any more. The
comedy section is poor.
A lot of these movies were not good,
didn't make any money to speak of and
yet they are picked and also the actors
and actresses. Every year I can't help
but wonder what in the world they are
chosen for. A lot these were talked a
bout before they were even made as oscar
winners. Don't the critics pay any
attention to what the public really likes and go to?
