I could never forgive the Academy for that. <BR/><BR/>Shakespeare in Love was fun but to choose it over Saving Private Ryan, that was unacceptable. <BR/><BR/>Saving Private Ryan was chosen by the American Film Institute as its 2nd best film of all time.<BR/><BR/>I now only watch the Oscars just to see my favorite film stars on the red carpet.<BR/><BR/>The only awards I take seriously is Cannes which makes no distinction between English language films and "foreign" films. Cinema is a universal language and only the French seems to recognise that.Khilath Rasheed - journalist and blogger from Maldiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514858107197926545noreply@blogger.com
