Lost in Translation, Tigerland

It must be nice to be Francis Ford Coppola's daughter. That's the only reason I can see that Lost in Translation would garner so many accolades when there was very little to recommend the film. ( cut in case my ranting goes on too long )
I would SO have nominated Whale Rider before this one. Why was it overlooked, when it has everything a good film ought to have?
And now that I've seen it, I also can't in good conscience vote for Sofia in the "best screenplay" category, I don't care how likely it is that she'll win it. It's not deserved, man.
Did a whole bunch of tidying up this weekend, which is so exciting, you don't even know. Found myself tossing out all the XF fanfic I had printed and saved ... that's when you know an obsession is dead. I can only hope that one day, I'll be able to watch my DVDs and recall some semblance of what I used to feel for the show.
Have also tagged about 100 CDs that I don't want, as well as 30 or so VHSes. I don't even want to think about how much money I'd have if not for spending it on those things (at $10 each, about $1,300 -- d'oh, don't think about it!!!).
Also saw Tigerland this weekend. If you're into war films (as I am), or films about comaraderie between guys in the military, or, you know, just want to see Colin Farrell bare-ass naked and having sex (with a woman, although it was so twu wuv between his character and his army buddy), I recommend this film.
