Wow, talk about "heads firmly stuck up their own areses" - I guess I should not be surprised at the curmudgeonly reaction of Mudcatters, but I guess it does surpise me a bit that people have such negative reactions when it is obvious that they have not watched the awards in years and can comment on things they have not seen or heard - such as the song that won. I am not a rap fan, but the song impressed me as well as the film from which it came.

I am impressed by the independent nature of the films that were up for awards this year and the topics they tackled. The awards are important, for those with open minds, and I now have several films that I want to watch based on what I saw last night. That is one of the reasons most people tune in.
