He was so robbed for Lincoln!!!!!!!

Ive seen Lincoln three times and can safely say its one of his most mature and though provoking films. His loss was a tragedy but Kushners loss was a abomination. How that screenplay didnt win the oscar is just beyond me. I have a bad feeling if they went the classic biopic route and added more pathos instead of the wonderful restraint Spielberg showed, it might have won everything. *beep* the middlebrow academy.

Perhaps this will explain it, Magtroll, and give you a few chuckles, too: http://jerryzezima.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-connecticut-yankee-in-king-stevens.html

As much as I loved Lincoln and Day-Lewis' fantastic performance, Spielberg deserved at least a nomination. Ben Affleck was more robbed for Argo, who failed to get a nomination.
