Oscars 2010: Parade of propaganda?

My friend John Brennan forwarded me this essay on the Oscars along with the following questions regarding its message. “A thoughtful piece? A rant? Junk? All three? None of the above?”

I tend to think it’s the first two. “Junk” is in the attitude of the reader. And there’s too much truth in what the guy says to dismiss it all as just crap. At the same time, that doesn’t mean that I ignore the qualities of some of the films that he’s writing about.

I’d be interested, though, in hearing what others might have to say.
