What a hoot. These are what you consider worthy of Oscar nominations? Warren Beatty, Bulworth? Cher, Mask? Matt Damon, The Talented Mr. Ripley? Paul Dooley, Breaking Away? Harrison Ford, The Fugitive and Raiders of the Lost Ark? Steve Martin, Roxanne???? Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, Notting Hill !!!?????

You just encapsulated exactly why you write for a provincial paper like the Sentinel instead of the worthier paper you disparaged, the L.A. Times.
