The Real Best Picture

Though I am not succumbing to the lazy side of the Force like JS, I’ll use an excuse from another pointy-eared Jedi, “Sick have I become. Old and weak,” to explain today’s delayed and shortened Proverbial Galaxies entry.

I’ve been a bit under the weather lately, which means I’ve neglected the site. Now that I'm mostly recovered, I’ll be catching up on news from the last two weeks over the next several days. And hopefully be throwing a couple of reviews in there as well.

One of those forthcoming news stories will definitely be the Oscar nomination of Superman Returns yesterday for Visual Effects. It’s up against Poseidon and that pirate movie.

I’m sure the odds are on the pirates (“Never tell me the odds!”) but I’m hoping the water/boat movie vote will be split and result in Superman finally taking one from the pirate.

Sadly, though not unexpectedly, that was the only category for which Supes got nominated. Hey, I’m just glad the film got that at least.

Still, were there any Justice in the Oscars, we would be hearing these words next month:

“And the Oscar for Best Director goes to Bryan Singer, Superman Returns.”

Wishful thinking? Or maybe a lingering touch of delirium?
