Scorsese and Depp are far above the minds of most American movie goers.
Yes, Depp that genius actor would never place himself in a Hollywood motion picture franchise indulging the plebes. Oh wait, he did! Said franchise is called
Pirates of the Caribbean... with the franchise winning an Academy Award® in 2006 and the entire franchise has over 18 nominations.
Wot? Movies for the masses get Academy Award® nominated and may even produce a few winners?
But "Happy Feet 2" is showing next and maybe you guys will like that one. Stay away from the next Academy Award Winner called "Artists." It's way over your heads.
Happy Feet, wasn't that the 2006 Academy Award® winner for
Best Animated Feature? Why, yes it was!
...so either Academy Awards® are handed out like swag at a Hollywood wrap party - or - someone is placing too much emphasis on the cerebral and the stature of the statue.
