Heh. Sounds good.

[Big Magilla]

Also, I know it's just a special citation, but under our rules, isn't Dead Man a 1995 film (commercial release in Japan late that year, while Miramax still was trying to figure out what the hell to do with an arty black-and-white Western stateside)?

Good catch. We can re-phrase the citation to read:

To Bobby Muller for his experimentation with cinematography in Breaking the Waves coming on the heels of his brilliant black and white compositions for Dead Man just a year earlier.

Are you hinting that there are some bad ones over-represented? :;):

Not consciously though even one nomination for Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet ( I refuse to call it William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet) is one too many IMO.

I'll take care of Frances on my second go-around if need be.

There are still some good 1996 films either under-represented or missing altogether.

Sorry to stall this up: is Chungking Express eligible for this year?

No, for the reason Reza stated.

[Reza]

Sorry to stall this up: is Chungking Express eligible for this year?

It played in most countries during 1995 and had a U.S. release during 1996. I guess it's not eligible for this game.

Sorry to stall this up: is Chungking Express eligible for this year?
