The academy shows American-style self-loathing by handing its biggest trophies to foreigners and drowning itself in montages. Save us, George Clooney!

    Maybe a foreign film should have been the best picture too

    Just sayin' - if "No Country" is the best we could come up with this year, the best picture award should have gone to a foreigner too. What a pathetic piece of drivel and mindless violence that movie was, and it shows how low the bar is these days for top shelf movies. Ahhh, but I always forget what a couple geniuses the Coen bros are.
