I was surprised you didn’t mention THE most egregious error in 1997: Best Picture goes to “Titanic”, a pretty good film, instead of “L.A. Confidential” or “The Sweet Hereafter”, both genuinely great films. The only disagreement I had was “On Golden Pond” – great movie and a great performance by Fonda. It was a tough choice so I don’t blame the Academy; however I admit I would have chosen the same as you.

After hearing how strongly you feel about Annie Hall I wouldn’t want to watch it either. It looks pretty stupid anyways.

Driving Miss Daisy is a great movie! Dead Poet’s Society deserved something though. I’ve seen the first only once but I re-watch DPS once every two years or so.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll try to remember!
