My favorite pic of 2008 was Iron Man so obviously my standards are quite pedistrian.

Me, I’d probably rather watch High School Musical than have to endure Pulp Fiction again.

As for the Academy, I seem to be among the minority who think it mostly gets things right. Sure, there are a lot of films that get overlooked and a couple films that hog all of the nominations and awards, but I’m generally pleased and understand the merits of most of the nominated films I get to see.
