Meanwhile, David Ignatius at the Washington Post sees this year’s crop of Best Picture nominees more thoughtfully – seeing them as a “journey inward.” Hollywood's Wars…no, I don’t know what he’s talking about either.

…showing us, mind you, even if it wasn’t exactly what happened in the real life incidents being portrayed.
