*Hey, these days doesn't Best Picture go to the director? This time it went to the producers.
"The Verdict" did not win any Oscars. I was confused because I had never heard of the film and I know of almost all the Best Picture winners.
Damn, you are absolutely correct. How did I get it so wrong and so specifically? Anyway, apologies.

The Tao of Steve: Netflix by mail. I really got to like Donal Logue after watching "Life" and "Terriers", so this ended up in my queue. A quirk little indie... romcom? about a guy without direction aimlessly cruising through life and sleeping with every woman he meets. Very much a friends and family production; other than Logue and his film best friend Rick, the other actors/director/writer seem to have less than a half dozen credits on their IMDB pages. Nice enough, worth watching if it comes to a TV near you. Logue has lost some serious weight since this was filmed.
