I’m really excited about this year’s Oscars. Billy Crystal as host—yay! I’ve dusted off the popcorn maker and read all the movie gossip about who’s going to win what.
Word on the street is “The Artist” will win Best Picture. But if Omer Mozzaffar, “How to Win An Academy Award”, is correct this most coveted prize goes to the story that follows the hero’s journey. You know, hero gets the call to action, resists but capitulates, goes on a journey, encounters the evil one, does battle, yada yada.
But wait a minute, “The Artist” is very French and the French don’t give a rip about the hero’s journey.
