more thoughts on the oscars
maybe there is a perfectly good explanation for this, but why is Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan up for an award in the "best adapted screenplay" category? what, exactly, is this adapted from? that one best selling book by borat? or clearly this is a remake of a '70s classic.
also a fun note, in the foreign film category is "water" which comes to our shores from the very foreign canada. unless it's from quebec, i think it should be DQ'd. foreign films must have subtitles. it's an official rule.
edit: water apparently has non-white people in it. i guess it counts.
and for the record, this is the list of the movies that are nominated that i have yet to watch. any takers in the DC area?
pan's labarynth
dreamgirls
the queen
the last king of scotland
babel
half nelson
notes on a scandal
the illusionist

I believe that Borat got nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay because it was, in a sense, adapted from the skits on "Da Ali G Show." At least that's my best guess.
