The Oscars ceremony was a lot
s nauseating than usual. Unforlately,
the myopic Academy
nmittee once again proves it has
guts whatsoever, and less
ins.
\s Kim Basinger pointed out in
most awkward moment of the
ole show, Spike Lee was
>nged. His Do the Right Thing
s ignored in the Best Picture
sgory. Steven Soderbergh's sex,
and videotape was as well,
member of the cast of sex, lies,
i videotape was nominated
ter.
^.nd of course, Crimes and Misneanors
was also neglected, alugh
at least Woody Allen got a
nination for Best Director. I
e complained about how these
;e films got shafted by the
idemy before, but the final
w had to be in the award for the
t Original Screenplay.
'he Oscars threw a bone to
;e films, nominating them for

e win? Of course not. Instead |

he Academy went for the safe, ]
nless movie instead of having r
courage to recognize avant- {
le cinema. Similarly avoided r
the highly controversial but
cally acclaimed movie Drug- \
e Cowboy. Movies on drug ad- a
ts don't go over well in I
ywood. j
part from the major awards, A
r movies got left out in the 1
in other categories. I know tl
3le don't sweat out the an- l
ncement of who won Best ti
nd Editing, but the best in A
i fields deserve recognition.
3r example, it did not hit me c
I the actual telecast Monday h
it that Danny Elfman did not a

I -f; Box Office
of the year, but its technical quality
was undeniable. The only
award Batman did win was for
Best Set Design, which is only just
considering the awesome job done
to make Gotham City come to life.
And I guess I'm dreaming to
wish that Public Enemy's fantastic
song "Fight the Power" (from Do
the Right Thing) was nominated in
the Best Song category.
The Academy doesn't have the
cajones to pick a song that urges
the assertion of black rights over
such drivel as "The Girl I Used To
Be" and "Kiss the Girl."
Maybe the worst thing in the
whole telecast was the atrocious
number showing all the costumes
that were nominated for best
:ostume.
This sickening production number
featured disco dancers "dressed
ike Morgan Freeman and Jessica
Tandy from Driving Miss Daisy
loing some Las Veeas lounee act
rhe choreographer should be shot.
Believe it or not, I was pleased
vith some awards. I was shocked
ind pleased to see Daniel Day?ewis
win for My Left Foot. And
essica Tandy winning for Driving
4iss Daisy is a nice tribute to her
ong distinguished career. Given
he competition, it is fitting that
driving Miss Daisy won Best PicLire
(it was too much to hope that
'ly Left Foot would win).
The Oscars are rarely fair. The
eremony was decent and wellosted
by Billy Crystal, but if the
wards stink, so what? I am thinkig
now more than ever that judgig
the allegedly five best in anyting
is too subjective to be worth
dam. The opinion of lots of moie
people is just that.
