For some reason, the judges just LOVE those "authentic-real-life-I'm-being-mental-or-having-a-disease" movies. No care if the oh so true story has been rewritten to the point, where you barely recognize it. As it is with "A Beautiful Mind". See the movie and then think of the REAL story and it's like: "Uhm sorry, but why should we tell it the way it was? Who wants to know that the wife actually filed for divorce, and got it? And so on and on and on and.....<BR>OK, I'm getting quite off topic here. I just hate this concept with "reality" movies always getting the Oscar, no matter how bad it is. <BR>I really think FOTR deserves to win in all of the 13 categories it's been nominated.
