OK my two cents:<P>I haven't seen ABM, so I can't pass judgement on it. I can, however, say that I was extremely glad that that whiny, lousy Russel Crowe didn't win two Oscars...<P>And now back on topic. <P>I thought that of all things, Randy Newman should not have won Best Original Song. With so many better songs up(hey if Enya didn't win, I'd settled for Sting or Faith Hill), the fact that he won just because that Academy "forgot" to give him his just due 15 other times was not at all unbiased. If they somehow "looked over" him in the past years, that's their problem, and it shouldn't have impacted this year's results.<P>Just my personal opinion.
