'The
By DAVID BOWDEN
Staff Writer *
What a surprise. The Oscar
nominations are as weird as ever.
The Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences, the guys who
brought you that Snow White musical
last year, really proved that
they are a bunch of sniveling
cowards.
Example one: Do the Right
Thing was an almost unanimous
pick as one of the best movies of
the year by critics across the country.
However, the Academy did not
think so. The only reason I can
think of is that this movie is Controversial
(with a capital C).
The Academy can't take films
that question the world as we
know it It is really big of Oliver
Stone to take a stand against the
Vietnam War in Born on the
Fourth of July. Who doesn't think
that war was a bad idea?
Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing
showed how normal, everyday
people can erupt into hate and violence.
And not in a foreign war,
but right down the block. Spike
Lee had the gumption to show the
ugly truth that racism is still pervasive
in society. It makes Born on
the Fourth seem dated.
Do the Right Thing should definitely
have been nominated. And it
wasn't even my favorite movie of
the year. Woody Allen's Crimes
j i/:-j i
uriu Mizuerricunur j was uic ucsi
movie of the year by far for its
brilliant treatment of nothing less
than the meaning of life.
Allen concludes that God is
dead and that you can get away
with anything if you don't let your
conscience get in the way. Heavy
stuff, way too heavy for the guys
who said the fluffy tear-jerker
Field of Dreams was one of the
best movies of 1989.
It is good that Woody Allen is
nominated as Best Director for.
Crimes. But it shows another stupidity.
It seems strange that he can
be one of the five best directors
when his film wasn't one of the
best
The Academy refuses to nominate
the best movies. It nominates

movies that are safe and tidy. Last
year, a movie with an interesting
view of the life of Jesus got no
credit (1988's Last Temptation of
Christ). This year movies on racism
and morality didn't make the
cut.
Another weird one: The star of
Crimes was Martin Landau. His
role was critical to the theme and
-f a\ * _ TT- * *1
piui ui uie movie, ne was in ine
movie more than any other person.
He was nominated for an Oscar all
right ? for Best Supporting Actor!
Another nominee in the Best
Supporting Actor category was
Dan Aykroyd for Driving Miss
Daisy. I wish someone had told me
that he was a good actor. He imitates
people; he doesn't act. A
cheesy Southern accent does not
an actor make.
In the always eagerly anticipated
Best Documentary category, there
was yet another travesty (well, as
much of a travesty as a movie
nomination can be).
Michael Moore's Roger and Me
was a sharp-edged look at the closJ
ing of General Motors plants in
Flint, Michigan. Moore gave an
unpleasant look at American soci-!
ety today. Too bad he was too
Controversial. We can't have that.
What did the Academy do right?
Driving Miss Daisy for Best Picture,
Morgan Freeman and Tom
Cruise for Best Actors, Jessica
Tandy for Best Actress, and Danny
Aiello for Best Supporting Actor
were all well-deserving nominees.
It is a shame that good nominations
are the exception and not the
rule. Until the Academy starts rewarding
merit in films instead of
dodging controversy, the Academy
Awards show will just be an outlet
for some of the worst production
numbers in the history of show
business.
