Two clowns argue about 2001 Oscars

Both are wrong about nearly everything.

Jon: Now, that we’ve moved beyond our petty debates, of which I would never drag out far too long, it’s time for me to throw another big curveball here. Like I said before, it will be interesting to see how this category gets picked. I picked Ocean’s Eleven because it’s the best combination of quality and entertainment. Yes, Beautiful Mind and Memento are better, and yes, I like both movies more. Ocean’s however, had a much broader impact. It appealed to a wider array of people and that has to be part of the selection. The fictional Best Movie has to be something that is also extremely re-watchable. The thing about the other a movie like Memento is, despite how amazing it was, it isn’t the type of movie that sucks you in when it pops on TBS for the 20th time. It also doesn’t hurt that Ocean’s is really funny.

Best Supporting Actor: Should have been Broadbent for Moulin Rouge.

Best Actor was Washington. I left Training Day and said, “it’s over, he’s won”.

Best Director should have been Baz Lurman for Moulin Rouge, but he wasn’t nominated

Best Picture was Moulin Rouge and it’s not close.
