I don't think Tilda Swinton was the best; that's not my point. I'm saying your opinion of the performance or movie is one person's opinion, a movie fan's opinion. The Academy consists of thousands of people and a majority of them picked Tilda Swinton. I even predicted it for the contest. I may not agree with it, but I respect who THEY selected because they know a little more than I do about what goes in front and behind a movie camera. All you're saying is Cate Blanchett was awesome. Well duh!!! She was nominated for an Academy Award. But more people thought Tilda Swinton was better . . . GOD FORBID!!!! You're going to criticize an organization because your opinion differs from theirs? That's hypocritical. Quote: About Zodiac 100% agree. I don't even know why we're talkng about Zodiac since it (deservedly, i think) didn't get any nom but this film is waaaaaaaay overrated by the schmoes on these boards. It's way too long, boring, and it treats its audience as if they're morons (case in point: i don't need be told that it takes 2 1/2 hours to travel by plane from city to another, it's assumed like so many other time shifts that Fincher slapped on annoyingly). Now this, we agree on.
