I must say, I didn't like BBM that much **ducks appologetically** I am used to really slow films, but it was too slow. The ending didn't justify in my mind the pace of the film, it just wasn't sad enough, and it's not like they COULD make it any sadder. I dunno, I just didn't like the characters, and I really really wanted to. ;_; I tried really. =/

GN&GL on the otherhand, was just beautiful. Preachy, but in a Humphery Bogart way. I thought it was a lot better than Crash. While both films have really blatant, hit me over the head messages, at least GN&GL conveyed it in a way that made it fitting to the period the film was set in as well as today. It doesn't hurt that I liked the message too. In short, I think GNGL should have won.

I can't hold any grudges against people who didn't like the movie. ^_^ There were plenty of people who did, and that was good enough for me, but I would have loved to have had a little on-the-records validation re: the Academy Awards. But, cripes, the AA's never agree with my choices; why should I be surprised? (I'm gonna make a point of seeing GN&GL.)

Well didn't it win every Golden Globe it was nominated for? That's something. :)
