1958: The aforementioned "Gigi", favorite film of pedophiles and would-be prostitutes everywhere. Not even the best film amongst the nominees, as "Separate Tables" and "The Defiant Ones" both have it beat. And as mentioned, "Vertigo" and "Touch of Evil" weren't nominated,

1981: "Chariots of Fire" over "Raiders of the Lost Ark", huh?

1982: "Gandhi" over "E.T.", huh?

1989: "Driving Miss Daisy" is only fit for parody now. Although now that I look at the list none of those films really stand up as great movies. 1989 was a weak year. I think the actual Best Picture might have been "Say Anything". Or maybe "The Little Mermaid".

1990: "Dances with Wolves" over "Goodfellas", oy.

1994: "Forrest Gump" over "Pulp Fiction", oy.

1997: I actually like "Titanic", that movie is worth watching just to see the re-creation of the ship, but you can't argue for that movie over "LA Confidential".

1998: "Shakespeare in Love" over "Saving Private Ryan", what a f*****g disaster. "Saving Private Ryan" just got added to the National Film Registry, by the way.

2005: Can't really speak to "Crash" over "Brokeback Mountain" as I haven't seen either, but after "South Park" called "Brokeback Mountain" in advance with that episode about gay cowboys eating pudding...

And yes, I'm stuck at work with nothing to do.

That's it, any day now they're going to tell us they were kidding.
