] "We were dealing with reels of film, not politics," said

[ There are a lot of things that make a film good, and I don't think it's quite accurate to claim politics don't enter into it. The content of the film *has* to be one of the major factors. If you're only looking for mechanincs and cinematography, you're not doing much good.
That being said, I think most of us will be waiting a while to judge for ourselves. I'm anxious to see it, but I'm very surprised to see it win this... it seems impossible that politics on the world stage played no part. -k]
