When the best film of the year is not even nominated at the so called "premier" movie awards.

It has been confirmed. The academy is either run by 3 year old's or some singled cell organisms from planet douche-45.. The Oscars have been consistently losing their relevance over the past few years, but now they have reached their lowest point. The Dark Knight, agreed both by critics and the audience, was THE film of 2008. It was also one of the quickest and highest grossing films of all time at the BO. And,therefore the question.Why is a great film AKA a technical, artistic and monetary success not nominated for best picture at the Oscars. It is films like the Dark Knight that make us go to the cinemas and give us an exit from our boring, material lives.
It would have been very disappointing if the movie hadn't won the best picture award. But now far from winning it, it doesn't even come close to competing for it. I am guessing the folks at the academy have a different agenda as to deciding whether a film is Oscar deserving or not. Whatever that is, it sucks. However all this said and done, the last straw would be if the joker is not handed over his Oscar.

We pray to the mighty Zeus and Isis to give the academy some sense and sanity so that they won't kill the spirit of the Oscars(ie if it has any).



still disappointed

About the desktop, i am running the usual samurize and rocket dock along with the widescape weather widget. also running is CAD skinned with "the crease". the taskbar is in auto hide mode and the wall paper is from social wallpapering.By the way, my newest obsession is typography and fonts. it is amazing how a good font can really uplift a design

never stopping
