: Anybody that has seen this film knows how much of a quality film it is. It is a real shame that it didn't get any more nominations that it did. When Soderbergh gets 2 director nods for 2 different movies, you know it's a wierd year for the Oscars. Nominations would have been nice for Best Picture, and Directing. It's obvious from watching the movie how much it meant to Cameron Crowe. But that's okay. It's just an awards show.
: Almost Famous is still, and will always be a great film. We as movie fans will always have that.
: Peace,

Almost Famous was easily my favorite film from last year. When I read the nominations this year I was astonished that it didn't get more than the ones it got. Then after reading Jason's post here, I became disillusioned as to how the studio could let such an amazing film slip through the cracks. Let's all hope that this film will win in the few categories that it was nominated for.
