My vote would have been for Good Night and Good Luck

I remember thinking it was really entertaining, although I was much younger, and I can\’t guarantee I\’d like it as much at this age. But the film isn\’t without moments of inspired filmmaking. The part where the Middle Eastern shopkeeper pulls a gun on Michael Pena is shot and performed beautifully, I think. That said, Haggis seems like a nice and reasonable guy.

Props to him.

Also: Brokeback FTW

It should, and probably will, go down as the worst film to win best picture.
