"First, a little perspective. There's a common thread that bonds such films as Aliens, Blade Runner, Cool Hand Luke, The Manchurian Candidate, The Matrix, Spartacus, Toy Story, The Wild Bunch, and Wild Strawberries. What do those great films have in common? The answer: NONE of them were nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. The Academy Awards ceremony is a lavish affair and an entertaining TV spectacle that will never go away, but let's be honest - the Oscars aren't the best barometer for what will eventually become legendary in the annals of cinema history. Of course, that doesn't mean we have to stop trying to analyze the often mysterious decisions on a yearly basis. The fact is that the Oscars have long been divisive, and writing about them is bound to anger someone ... But, as we all know, that's part and parcel of what comes with the Oscars."
