If The Dark Knight wins Best Picture, all that means is that WALL-E got raped.

But I doubt either will win, since there are a few months left, and many other great movies I haven't seen this year.

And you should already hate the Academy for not giving every Oscar ever to Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch.

Can we just agree that they won them all in spirit? Didn't Kubrick get one of those Rodney Dangerfield Oscars for his body of work?

He got one Oscar in his life: Best Visual Effects for 2001.  Not even a lifetime achievement!

I've noticed that the Oscar voters don't have a vision for movies that will hold up against the test of time. It's the only reason that movies like Ordinary People can beat movies like Raging Bull. I'm sure at the time it seemed logical, but as time passes, the decisions just get more ridiculous as the winner gets forgotten and the loser becomes a milestone. A current version of that is the awful decision of giving Crash the award over Brokeback. My jaw dropped when Jack announced that little bit of blasphemy.
