In Bruges was amazing and didn't win a single award for shame.
3. che-che - February 23, 2009 11:35 AM
is it really original screenplay when it happened in real life.

I should have known that the Academy would vote politically rather than for talent. Sean Penn has turned in far better performances than his portrayal of Harvey Milk, but The Academy chose to give him the award to further their own agenda: to promote the repeal of Proposition 8. Sad.

P.S. - I didn't know Kate Winslet's dad was Benny Hill.

@4 - If that was the case then surely it should have won best picture, asshat.
One day we'll have gay actors play gay characters.

Go Proposition 8! Proof that Hollywood doesn't control everyone's thoughts the way they believe they do.
