Tarantino not jumping on Black Swan or Black Venus has me wondering if he’s losing his touch in evaluating other peoples’ material. <br /><br />PS to keep things clear – I appreciate Sofia’s cameo in Madonna’s “Deeper and Deeper” video and I love Lost in Translation; and didn’t hate Marie Antoinette.

Let's all campaign and root for comedies. Comedies are movies, too, and they can be great, so why not to award them and their actors?
