It wasn't mainstream anyway, it was a dark niche that the fanboys loved but i could see the academy not loving. I think the only good parts of it were cinematography, score, and heath ledger. I think the film was thematically muddled (it's efforts to portray Joker as the apotheosis of charismatic evil power were misguided), and I felt like Frost/Nixon had more to say politically. You should read my review on the topic. <BR/><BR/>I was hoping for Sam Mendes in the alternate spot, but what can you do. I would not be hoping for Mike Leigh because he's got like a million nods already, what's the point in that?<BR/><BR/>What exactly did Debra Winger do in Rachel Getting Married other than get punched in the face?sophomorecritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320637485303592977noreply@blogger.com
