It's March 2014, so of course we're all talking about
the best movies of 2013. If all the griping on Twitter is any indication,
I'm once again happy to have skipped the Academy Awards. Naturally I disagree
with some of the winners. More naturally, I don't understand what some of the
categories mean. But nothing shall dissuade me from telling a sizable
democratic body of people who devote swaths of their lives to film that their
mass conclusions were wrong. So here we go.
The Robbed Award
Going to the movie that got no play last year
and is still on my mind more than whatever won Best Picture
Beasts of the Southern Wild
The Too Little/Too Late Award
Going to the movie I missed by several years,
but have now seen and wish I'd been on the bandwagon for at
the time

Lawrence of Arabia
