Sometimes, sour grapes are an acquired taste. This diatribe against the Oscars by "Brokeback Mountain" author, Annie Proulx, is quite something. Bitchiest comment:
"[R]umour has it that Lions Gate inundated the academy voters with DVD copies of Trash – excuse me – Crash a few weeks before the ballot deadline. Next year we can look to the awards for controversial themes on the punishment of adulterers with a branding iron in the shape of the letter A, runaway slaves, and the debate over free silver."
The rest is better, but bitter.
