Robbed of an Oscar!

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2006)

This film was robbed of the Oscar for best film!! I was dumbfounded when i learned that Good Night and Good Luck, along with Brokeback Mountain for that matter, lost out to Crash. The thing GN and GL does, is create characters who are realistic, and not overplayed or overwhelmed with stereotype. in this film, Clooney handles a topic, that is of high relevance in today's world, and steps back, looks at how the world was, when figures in the media were brave enough to take action on what they saw as injustice in the world, and not remain passive. In typical Hollywood style, a film that truly risks commenting on something that has pertinence in our society was beaten by a film that lacked realistic characters, and played far too heavily on stereotypes.
Thank you George for making this story known, and while you may not have walked home with the Oscar you deserved, i believe you should have!!
Good Night, and Good Luck!
