I can totally see why Raging Bull lost, though. It's just SO dark and dreary and in black n' white. I had trouble watching it and enjoying it when I rented it, cause I just don't go for that kind of bleakness, especially in the uber-macho-saturated world of boxing, which I'm not keen on. But it was totally a quality film.
Oh yeah, I can also see why it lost. I also don't think it losing is the biggest travesty (er, this year was pretty much the pinnacle on that account).
I don't usually go for movies like this that deal with men and violence, but I liked it.
