Why does it take an "Academy Award" to validate filmmakers these days?  Why do we place our complete faith in the Academy's nominations and decisions?  If neo-Nazi's ran the country and tried to dictate our moral and artistic choices, we'd be in an uproar.  Why then do we let old racist White Males decide what is beautiful and what is worthy of our approval?  Does anyone else not believe the hype?

Email me if you do.  Let's take steps to educate people about real filmmaking, and leave Hollywood in Never Never Land (Los Angeles).  Certainly that's where Spielberg feels most comfortable (Hook, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park); all his films take place there.
