I'm so sorry to tell you, but it happened again...

Hi folks,
as I had anticipated in another post, yesterday we had the Italian Oscar night here in Italy, that is the ceremony for the awards of the David di Donatello prizes, assigned by the Italian Cinema Academy.
BBM was one of the nominees, and I was eager to see it win the award in the Best Foreign Movie category. When actor Franco Nero - of Fassbinder's "Querelle" fame - opened the envelope and read the winner's name I was left in awe once again.
Just guess! BBM lost to CRASH once again...
I haven't seen CRASH so far - though I'm planning to buy the DVD as I've been told it's a very good movie - but was totally disappointed nevertheless as our beloved movie was defeated once again. Well. it's not too bad anyway. BBM won so many other accolades we shouldn't be complaining that much...
Good thing was that the award as Best European Community Movie went to Woody Allen's Matchpoint.
Luigi

Shit happens, I guess.
Hey Luigi, you have to add yourself to the Frappr Map! Isabelle and I feel so lonely overthere, being the only Europeans!
Btw: I was happy to see Berlusconi lose the Italian elections. It's only: he himself doesn't seem to have noticed that he's lost yet. Poor guy... ;)
Ciao

Hi Anke,
you're so right talking about Berlusconi. We (at least 51% of Italians) are so fed up with all what he's been saying in the past few years. I mean, nobody has anything to say about his ability - though maybe something could be said... - in business, but please. go away from the politcs scene.
I suspect he's suffering some sort of deep mental disease: he believes to be a direct emanation of God - if not God himself - and the rest is simply non-existent. And the same applies to a part of his fellow politician supporters and colleagues. He will never accept he has not won: pity that it lost only so slightly. This makes me wonder why there are still so many Italians that, somehow, believe his completely unreliable and incredible lies. Poor Italy!
Ciao,
Luigi
Aussie Chris:
So what has been the public reaction to BBM in Italy luigival?
It started in late January here in Australia too, and still showing in a couple of mainstream & arthouse cinemas.
Is it that surprising that Crash won? A copy-cat of the academy awards maybe?
