i was going through the first two pages, thinking, "geez, latest one that deserved was Million Dollar Baby, how could no one have said that yet?" Thank god people did. THat movie totally deserved to win. The relationship that Swank's character and Eastwood's character was very well created and the ending was so good.
And, I'm sorry, English Patient did not deserve the award. There was nothing special about it. I mean, the acting was incredible yes (not by Fiennes in the desert though, before he got burnt. He acted like a walking corpse). But Binoche was fantastic. I did like her in that role. And to see Dafoe in a role like that, it was interesting, in a good way. But I'm glad I have seen it now though, since it seems like a classic. Now I have an opinion about how bad it was.

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.
