As a person who openly hates the Academy Awards, I will say this: Without them, most of us would never hear of such great films as "A Man Thing", "Fifty Percent Gray", or "The Accountant", nor would we be exposed to this little gem of a movie. It's nothing fancy. It's nothing flashy. The computer effects aren't obvious, but just there. It beats the hell out of "For the Birds" and is just as impressive. You want your Oscar-worthy film? Here it is.

Fifty Percent Grey
(2001)
90% Perfect
8 April 2002
Though this film is more clever than impressive, its blending of styles and the texture of the movie in general should have beat out the God awful "For the Birds" for the Oscar. The animation is first rate and the gorestick is classy as hell. The movie would be like a cross between Chuck Jones and Sam Rami if only the soldier looked like Bruce Campbell.
