It's Time for Academy Award Asinity

I love movies.  In fact, I adore movies.  You know this (the writing of movie reviews during breaks from research should have been a clue!).  But I hate the Oscars.  Let's take a look at some massive snubs (then and now) and  some seriously overrated Best Picture winners and still more of that (I'm glad I'm not the only person who hates "Forrest Gump" and "Crash").  Then take a look at this hilariously snarky pair of cartoons:

Hey, Forrest Gump was a great movie! (Not necessarily a great movie qua movie, but as a cultural artifact and just a plain old good story.)

Also, it's asininity.

I think people make it out to be better than it is, though I do love the cool special effects and inter-spliced history.
