FWIW, last year's winner -- The Hurt Locker -- elicited a similar reaction from some people. *That* film actually premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2008 ... but it didn't have its regular theatrical release until 2009, so it won Best Picture for *that* year ... and a number of the people who saw it at TIFF in 2008 said they couldn't remember there being any buzz around the film when it showed at the festival, so they were surprised to see it win all these awards (critics' awards, etc., plus the Oscar) after it played in regular theatres. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
