Yeah, I'm with you on this. John Hawkes and Leo were awesome, Moonrise Kingdom and Looper were robbed, and the Director lineup was all sorts of wack. I don't tend to pay attention to things like visual effects and production design, because I have a hard time distinguishing them from each other. But you know about such things, so I'll validate your outrage. :)

If it makes you feel better, after years of you recommending it, I'm finally going to the Austin Drafthouse next weekend! I want to see one of the special events, but our plans are kind of up in the air, so we might just see Zero Dark Thirty. Still!
