[quote=Anonymous]I haven't seen either movie, so let me say that up front. But - didn't Meryl win the Golden Globe also? So, there were 2 roles that both won major awards, and the Oscars had to pick one or the other. I sometimes do think that race does have to do with these decisions, but I'm not sure the academy is biased. For example, I love Denzel Washington. I think he's done very fine work and probably should have earned a lead actor award for something. However, the year he earned it for Training Day, I think Russel Crowe deserved that award for Beautiful Mind. I don't think the academy wanted to honor a black man then; they just decided he had a good body of work and deserved to win, even though the acting in that particular film was probably not the best of the year. Now - in terms of who gets nominated at all and more importantly who gets meaty roles that are worthy of nomination? Yeah, there's definite bias there. [/quote]
