In any other year this wonderful movie would have taken all the awards, but it was 1997. And it was Titanic's year. BUT there were other great films out there during this marvelously creative year-- Good Will Hunting, As Good as it Gets, Ulee's Gold, etc. Hard to imagine such a year again. So many actors did not get the attention they so richly deserved. Kevin Spacey, Russel Crowe, and Guy Pierce were robbed of nominations. But Danny DeVito's work was phenomenal as was the actor who played the Captain. It was as if each actor helped lift the others up to new levels. And I have not even mentioned the writing. Such marvelous lines, so well executed. I treat myself to this movie at least once every two years. If you have not seen it, please do so.
