Merits of Cheese Pass The Popcorn Please

The Also Ran Oscars Go To

Filling out the edges
making the numbers count
Thomas Mitchell won for Stage Coach
not Gone With The Wind

The committee decided
One winter day in the cold
Spike Lee had a tantrum
doing the "right thing" for him

Green Book was the better movie
clearly a story well told
Truer than manufactured bias
used to make a point rather than a cinematic masterpiece

But some just don't get it
like the ones who denied Claude Rains
and Bogart for Casablanca
Who will remember the ones that won that year?

By a thread or by a nose
We know a good movie when we see one
and a temper fit over childishness
swept away in the tears of the losers, some winners over time...
