This is all great to hear, and much appreciated. I'm not sure Scott is really disagreeing with me. I think it's fine when avant-garde film is acknowledged. My point is that we should not expect the Academy or the Oscar telecast to recognize or award avant-garde filmmakers in the way, from a cinema art point of view, most on the list might feel is appropriate.
