Genre films and the Oscar

"'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' lost the year before to 'Gladiator' because we live in an alternate universe, and all the mainstream universes wherein CTHD did win need *something* to distinguish themselves from ours."

This lovely quote comes from Mike Chary at the All-New-Howling-Curmudgeons, who lists 35 years of genre films that didn't win the Oscar, and all the films they lost to.
