A sadly neglected form. It's almost as if it's beneath them.

Indeed, it's only good if you do a war movie, heart-breaking drama, black slave movie or 'one mans journey'.
It's annoying how it's the same kind of movies all too often, but then again the Oscar judges are known for getting things wrong...

... Like The Shawshank Redemption not winning a single Oscar.
