1996 Alternate Oscars

I don't have a lot to say about 1996 other than that I didn't care for the Academy's choice for best picture, The English Patient.

Me, I preferred the Coen Brothers' classic noir comedy Fargo instead. Frances McDormand won an Oscar. Steve Buscemi and William H. Macy gave terrific supporting performances. But, you know, if you like The English Patient, go for it, dude.
