If it was up to me, i'd give the best director and best picture to ben affleck. don't get me wrong here, life is pi is a great piece of work and congratulation to Ang Lee and what not. My opinion is based on one thing and one thing only, and that is
yes, that's right, the motherfucking daredevil.
for a guy who won an oscar for good will hunting and hit rock bottom playing a blind superhero who spent just a tad too much time at the local S&M shop (seriously he might as well go out fighting bad guys with candle wax and leather whips wearing tight vinyl spandex like that), it takes some serious integrity and hard work to bounce back.
so congrat mr. affleck, but like any raging women out there...
i forgive, but i won't forget.
