It's fun to watch famous people get dressed up and talk about their work. It's fun to reflect on a year of filmmaking. (Some years more than others) But why people get so worked up over it all is beyond me.

Its fun to look back over time and see what films got snubbed, but hold up better over time than films that won.
For instance, Kramer Vs Kramer over Apocalypse Now
Ordinary People over Raging Bull
Chariots of Fire over Raiders of the Lost Ark
Just a few examples....im sure there are numerous others...
