Thanks to Gloria Monti for forwarding the Oscar list and accompanying
story. But I did have a certain "knee-jerk reaction" to this sentence:
>BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Braveheart, actor Mel Gibson's directing debut,
>captured a leading 10 Academy Award nominations Tuesday, including
>best picture.
Now it's my memory that Mel Gibson directed _Man Without a Face_. Am I
wrong? I'm happy to be corrected if so.
The reason I'm a bit upset (if I'm right about Mel) is that a recent
syndicated obit. about Gene Kelly (by Larry Swindell) made the BIZARRE
claim that _An American in Paris_ was the last American musical to win an
Oscar for Best Picture. But by ANY and all standards _Gigi_ was an
American film and so for sure as hell was _West Side Story_. So why such
carelessness with facts?
Yes there are more important things in life to worry about, but still...
