Acadamy awards?

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2005)

So how inaccurate and meaningless are the Academy Awards?
The Shawshank Redemption - ZERO awards. Dr. Strangelove... - ZERO awards. Citizen Kane - 1 award (screenplay). Shichinin no samurai - ZERO awards. Rear Window - ZERO awards. Vertigo - ZERO awards
And yet a movie like Titanic can garner 11. I can think of 10 movies that might be deserving of such a number of Oscars since Ben Hur (righty) won that many. Titanic ain't one of them. In fact (at the time of this writing) Titanic is rated 6.9 - a number that, I would guess, may not put Titanic in the top 1000 movies.
Oh, I forgot... IMDb voters are likely not as "knowledgable" as the elite cattle who vote for Oscars.
Ridiculous.
