What about Paul Greengrass for UNITED 93? What about Alfonso Cuaron for CHILDREN OF MEN? What about Guillermo Del Toro for PAN'S LABYRINTH? What about Darren "Fuck You" Arronofsky over THE FOUNTAIN?
I may be wrong, but wasn't Little Miss Sunshine up for best picture as well? I know lighthearted comedies don't usually win awards, but that movie was my favorite from last year. Followed by Apocalypto (no nominations right?) and Pan's Labyrinth.
By the way, did you see The Fountain? It was fucking amazing. I think you'd really enjoy it. I think it was my favorite film of 2006, followed by Pan's Labyrinth and A Scanner Darkly.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
