Is Hollywood Becoming a Red State?
A quick glance at this year's Oscar nominees reveals no listing for a large scruffy fellow named Moore. (Apparently this is partly his Moore's own doing as he didn't enter his film in the documentary category. Given his masterful cut-and-paste work, you'd at least think he'd get a nod for best editing!) More generally, films of a lefty orientation such as "The Motorcycle Diaries" and "Vera Drake" received few nominations, though "Supersize Me" got a nod for best documentary. By contrast, "The Aviator", which co-blogger Larry nominated for "Most Economically Literate Movie of the Year", got a spruce goose full of nominations and Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" got three nominations albeit in secondary categories.
