So The English Patient didn't deserve to win Best Picture. Some tragedies are unavoidable.So maybe The English Patient winning Best Picture over Fargo isn’t as tragic as aliens blowing up the White House, a tornado destroying a drive-in movie theater, Nicholas Cage in an action movie or, say, a presidential election leading us into global economic meltdown, but it isn’t that far behind.

Can we really blame Braveheart for everything stupid thing Mel Gibson has done since? Yes.The year that launched Mel Gibson as a director to be reckoned with did have one small bright side. With movies like Toy Story and A Little Princess, it was a the year Hollywood stopped making kids movies that talked down to kids. If only it had also been the year Gibson stopped making movies.
