I remember in the year that A Beautiful Mind was winning stuff it was in this category against Amelie, Royal Tenenbaums, Memento, and ... something else pretty good, if I remember. And I remember that was the one category where I said, "Well shit -- at least SOMEBODY deserving will get this award. A Beautiful Mind is lock for Best Picture they can throw the smaller releases a bone in this category and let them get some pub."

Nope, A Beautiful Mind won that category, too, and whatever sliver of faith I still had that even the Academy can accidentally give a good award from time to time was irrevocably lost.
