You see, when anybody gets to the point where those closest to them don't dare to explain that something (or many things) about their work are laughably shallow, the message gets delivered in one manner or another. I was awestruck by Avatar's visuals, but squirmed repeatedly through the cliche ridden plot points and childish writing. Apparently, so did Academy members. Best Regards, Ed Ritchie Wally,
