Superman?  Christopher Reeve for best actor, Marlon Brando for best supporting, Richard Donner for director, John Williams for the score, hell, it should have been awarded Best Film.  And lest we not forget the major technical breakthrough it was in making you believe a man could fly.

January 23, 2009 4:42 pm I agree with Jim in that we really don't need the Oscars to tell us it was an awesome movie, still I can't help but feel dissapointed.  Let's face it, they give Oscars to mainstream movies.  Despite Heath Ledger giving an amazing performance, I can't help but feel that it's a sympathy vote that's got him the nomination.  He would never have got it if he were still alive, because they don't give oscars to comic book movies, no matter how good they are.  I really thought they were changing their ways after Return of the King's clean sweep, but I guess it's more important to stroke the ego's of the talentless hacks of Hollywood than the people who really deserve them
