Good article from the SF Chronicle about why the "Best Picture" Oscar winner often isn't the BEST Picture.

BTW, read some of the flaming posts in response to the SF Chronicle critic's article.  People are so stupid sometimes.

There are plenty of other awards and movie festivals to give credit and attention to the artsy fartsy movies.  The Oscars are meant to be the movie industries' big blowout.  It's an industry not an art house.

PS:  Maybe they should have a special Oscar for the movie that is the most innovative as opposed to most popular?
