From Poland's article:


No, Return of the King won the Oscar the minute The Two Towers was nominated for the Oscar.

He also thinks Walk the Line has a chance. So he basically agrees with me, but not on emphasis I think. Kong is also rearing its head on the list which is good for Poland.

How many shitty reviews does it take for him to get rid of Mrs. Henderson Presents?

He's headed in the right direction.

Him putting Fernando Meirelles - The Constant Gardener on Director list is just... insane.
