Discussion: What were Elan's second and third guesses going to be?

[Laurentio III]

1. Puppeteers;
2. Characters with family issues;
3. Puppeteers;
4. Humans;
5. Puppeteers, but specifically for theraupetic reasons like resolving family issues.

Mute testimony to how irrelevant the Oscars are.

While I do think the Oscars are not quite as important as they make themselves out to be, I still think they are a pretty good (but not perfect) guide to what movies and performances were noteworthy from the year. That being said, if I wanted to make an example of the Oscars getting it wrong, this is not a good example. Her performance was stellar in that movie, and look at who she was up against:

Judy Davis – Husbands and Wives as Sally Wainwright
Joan Plowright – Enchanted April as Mrs. Fisher
Vanessa Redgrave – Howards End as Ruth Wilcox
Miranda Richardson – Damage as Ingrid Fleming

Not really much competition there. Even if you look at the Golden Globes, in case the Oscars missed one, it's not much better

Joan Plowright – Enchanted April
Geraldine Chaplin – Chaplin
Judy Davis – Husbands and Wives
Miranda Richardson – Damage
Alfre Woodard – Passion Fish

So apparently 1992 just wasn't a very good year for movies. If you want a better example of a huge L by the Oscars, look at Forrest Gump beating Shawshank Redemption or Driving Miss Daisy beating Dead Poets Society

Idiots and bards would be redundant, would they not?

Not to mention 'idiots' and 'my family'!

You see, I like the kind of answer Laurentio gave and I don't quite like the kind that you did. Why is half this thread assuming Elan's trains of thought make sense?
