Take the following as truth: I can't believe that the director, Sam Raimi ( The Evil Dead , 1983; last year's A Simple Plan ) thought that all those scenes of Costner and Preston staring into space while the piano plinks would end up in the final cut, but Raimi apparently gave up control of the final cut for the sake of making his first, real mainstream picture.
Then the following statement: "Raimi won an Oscar." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
