both of those are expendable to me.

i mean, obviously, a documentary's never going to get nominated for Best Picture (*maybe* one of Michael Moore's). the Oscars are all about celebrating Hollywood glitz and glam. but "Hoop Dreams" was, far and away, the best movie of the year. it's one of the most impressive, audacious American movies ever made.

that it wasn't even nominated for best Documentary is one of the biggest Oscar travesties ever.
