I too must be low brow, though never thought of myself that way for I've only seen one. I think the Academy would do better giving Oscars for Best Picture in Comedy, Drama, Sci Fi/Horror and Fantasy. Categories rather than 10 nominations for one. They hardly ever go with Sci-Fi even in nominations (LOTR being one ofthe exceptions)

They are so busy being priggish having to show the low-browed public how high-browed they are by choosing movies that are the most ponderous and boring they can find. MAYBE THEY HOPE WE'LL PAY TO RUSH OUT AND SEE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOMINATED OR BUY THEIR DVD'S?

As for the Emmy's I can't go there, that nomination committee is controlled by as bunch of advertising seeking whores with brains of a moron. At the least they should limit nominations to people and shows that have not won the last five years in a row. Why even bother having a show. Just give it them.
