i know this has probably been said here before but what's irksome is that of all the films i've seen this year, the best have far and away all been foreign language films (TSITE, A Prophet, The Lives of Others) that pretty much piss from a dizzying height over anything hollywood has mustered. yet come awards time, specifically the fucking oscars, all these films will be lumped into some asinine, patronising 'foreign language' section while derivitive, overblown shite like Avatar hoovers up the rest of the gongs. not that these mastubatory exercises in self congratulation are by any means a measure of quality, they do serve to get otherwise under appreciated/exposed film makers and actors access to a wider audience.
