Yeah, Gladiator was good for about 15 minutes or so then it was a snoozer & too damn long in my book (okay, Dances With Wolves was long too but it was much better).
I haven't seen Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon but from the previews, it should have kicked ass. I think the Oscars are a bunch of butt kissers anyway.
