to do that you need your brad pitt and leonardo dicaprio and quentin tarantino.quin phoenix also spoke of this evening. a collective gasp when he spoke. i think the issue here is the academy. the issue is who votes for these awards. 6500 members who get 259 dvds on the desk which means about 540 viewing hours of which they take about 50 if they are having a quiet time. i think one of the reasons we have a lot more i think minority mps the reasons we have a lot more i think minority mp5 from both parties is because they take different approaches to how they do it, so labour took a very different approach to the conservative but both affectively came to the same place. that is just about saying to people products the people you are considering, think about other people you might have thought of. shame you have to be told. it is a shame. that is the point of trying to make. once told, it is the academy fall and they need to serve themselves out. 1917, a worthy winner? yes. i haven't seen it but i've been told. thank you very much tony and caroline. that's it for the
