	Academy Award Best Picture Winners
		This Best Picture winner is essentially the classic tale of an initially honest man who's newfound self awareness and then boundless ambition drives him to "prove" the old adage that "absolute power corrupts absolutely".
		Best selling author Ken Kesey said he would never watch the movie version of his story about life in a mental hospital and even sued the movie's producers because it wasn't shown from Chief Bromden's perspective, like the novel.

	NPR : Make 'Em Laugh: Why No Oscar for Best Comedy?
		Perhaps this year's best movies, the movies that reflect the collective anxiety of an industry coping with lagging box office and shrinking cultural dominance, really do all focus on willful and ultimately solitary characters who struggle with their respective visions of integrity in the face of interference from the larger, and crueler, world.
		Although the academy has given nominations here and there to a few "laughter through the tears" comic dramas, the group has long shown a perplexing shyness when it comes to recognizing movies that, you know, make people laugh.
		An award for best comedy gives Oscar's preening half the opportunity to recognize profound, well-crafted, seriously funny films that will go down as classics not just of the genre, but of the form.
