We're All Looking At The Oscars The Wrong Way

It wasn't just the first time a woman has won Best Director (and then take Best Picture). It's the first time a woman has been able to shove that shit in her ex's face and go "See? I am better than you." Kathryn Bigelow is literally the best director of 2009. Fuck you and your little blue suicide-inducing Na'vi, James Cameron. --DG

By your reasoning, Crash is literally the best film of 2004. Also, it was fairly clear that even Cameron wanted Bigelow to win.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> I really enjoyed watching Bigelow win last night, but not for any retributive reasons.

I loved how this is blown into some overblown, redemptive bullshit when those involved are long moved on and over it and are actually supporting each other.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> And neither deserved the statue.
