What Were They Thinking...

I usually try to watch most of the movies that are nominated for Emmy awards and generally find that most of the movies nominated are pretty good. There are, on rare occasions, times where I shake my head and just wonder what the heck the Academy was thinking.

This past week I had the displeasure of watching the movie No Country For Old Men. I'm still scratching my head wondering what in the world the Academy was thinking.

Best picture???? You have got to be kidding me!!!! I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to film and I watch a huge variety of movies from comedies, musicals, drama, action, and documenturies. I'm certain that I'm not the only person who would say that selecting No Country For Old Men as the "Best Movie" is ludicrous and downright offensive.

I think movies like Forrest Gump, The Bourne Identity, Ray, and many others, qualify as great movies. No Country For Old Men??? Give me a break!
