Yeah, I agree with that. I was glad when she won that year, and I have a feeling that she probably actually did win.

She's good, but I'm still pulling for Maggie Smith, myself.

Sorry, Kevin, fraid I can't agree with you a hundred percent on that one. I wanted something with a little tension, though, admittedly, the movie was fun (maybe if I watch it again; I'm surprised that it would get better and better each time). I do have to give it up for Bernie Mac, though, who changed even the staunchest non-fans of his that I know, especially with the Damon/Garcia scene you mentioned.

: And has a comic book movie ever been nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay
: before? This may be a first.

I believe you're right ... shame nobody else has pointed this out.
