Comments on the Academy Awards

The heavy favorites won the Academy Awards in the best acting and best picture categories.

Those awards went to Cate Blanchett in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine,” Matthew McConaughey for “Dallas Buyer’s Club” while “Twelve Years a Slave” took the best picture award.

There should be quotation marks around “best” because the awards are and always will be comparing apples and oranges.

I did see the three films referenced above and all three award winners were very good indeed.
