When I go to the movies, I don’t want to be asked to make moral decisions in my mind, taught a lesson (other than good always triumphs) or become emotionally involved with the characters I’m watching on the screen. I want to forget my daily stressors and watch explosions, car chases, spacecraft, heck…even something scary.
So for those of us who go to see a movie with the full intent of escapism, watching the Academy Awards can be a drag. Mostly because we’re faced with watching a roster of movies, while contain some artistic merit, wouldn’t be the first movie I would re-watch.
That said, the good folks over at Dread Central have compiled a list you might think improbable: 10 horror films that were not only nominated, but WON academy awards.
