Here's a good article about how some Aviator fans have displayed their character by being sore losers.

Not too bad, because I predicted ROTK would win. You'd be surprised how that takes the bitter taste away. \:D/

I think a lot of people just don't care that much, it wasn't a memorable year or group of movies for the oscars.

=D> Exactly.. It wasn't that memorable of a year or the movies nominated for that matter including MDB.. Hell even the News has pointed that out.. It was a lackluster year and a disappointing Academy Awards that should go back to the way it used to be for next years ceremony and get Robin Williams or Billy Crystal to Host, someone the audience and members will better appreciate..

The ratings weren't too bad, and Million Dollar baby has gotten it's share of press. Regardless, it doesn't matter how many, just that there are definitely some sour grapes over the winners.

It's called sour grapes, BKB. People who are mad about the Oscar results are trying to make themselves feel better by writing bad stories, but it's definitely the vast minority.
