Felt the same way about Life is Beautiful, incidentally.

The Oscars have been a joke for longer than I have been alive.
When I say I "liked" it, it means I was not bored and was interested enough to finish it.
Some elements were really good. The costumes (outstanding), cinematography, art direction, lighting and a few other elements were really good.
I'm looking at things many of you don't even see.
The script and a lot of the acting really sucked, the director should have been fired.
