Let's actually discuss movies and films you think got pimped on the Best Picture Award

OK, there are two GLARING mistakes the Academy has made in Johnny's eyes (Actually three but we'll get to that).

Which movies do YOU think got the shaft? Anything you're still mad about?

Here's Johnny's short list; In 1979 the Academy must have gone on a three day bender and the male voters must have had a bad case of Meryl Streep love when they somehow managed to give the Best Picture award to Kramer vs. Kramer over the Hollywood epic Apocalypse Now. How did this happen? Anyone? Anyone? Apocalypse Now has become so iconic people quote it, you can't hear Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkries' without thinking about it. It's battle scenes are almost unmatched. Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Laurence Fishburne and Harrison Ford lost to Kramer vs Kramer. Uh huh.

Johnny's other peeve is 1996 when The English Patient beat the Coen Brothers classic Fargo. Just think about that for a minute. Heinous.

Johnny's third and lesser complaint is that the Lord of the Rings trilogy didn't win more awards. The Academy seemed to still hold fantasy films at arms length until they realized if Return of the King didn't win they stood to lose all credibility. Tonight the favorite again is a fantasy film, James Cameron's Avatar. The Rings trilogy made getting backing for these other fantasy films so much easier.

Dear New York, that's what you get for trusting Chicago glue

Well well well, it seems the State of New York has a real sticky wicket on their hands, or actually a lack of one. The inspection and registration stickers don't stick to the car windshields, bad glue from companies in Chicago beg a couple of questions; couldn't you find a company in New York or New Jersey to handle such things (And hell in New Jersey we can make anything stick to anything, check out the sidewalks near Journal Square), and when you are pulled over here in the Garden State for not having properly adhered inspection and registration stickers, we'll happily sell you some scotch tape or Elmer's Glue at $2.99 a pop to 'assist' your compliance with the laws of the great state of New Jersey.

Think of the quick revenue streams, a Jersey cop could carry a case of scotch tape or glue in their trunks and sell it like an elementary school bad product showcase to raise money for new monkey bars, or in New Jersey's case, a new state government. We simply can't allow New Yorkers to ride through Jersey with non-compliant stickers---for their own good ya know.

So, until they get their act together across the Hudson (and some people there HAVE resorted to tape but not all have), Johnny thinks we'll have to ignore the New York Department of Motor Vehicles plea for a mulligan with law enforcement types and ensure proper enforcement of laws is happening here.

With apologies to Marge Gunderson in 'Fargo':

"And for what? For a little bit of bad glue. There's more to life than a little bad glue, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it."
