I really wanted to include a Guillermo del Toro film this evening, and as much as I like watching Hellboy 2 late at night, I just had to go with this. Talk about underrated Oscar horror material (!), it was nominated for 6 Academy Awards, and actually won 3 of them. Still, it was a disappointment that it didn't take home the Oscar for best Foreign Language Film! Also, del Toro's original script, set for a least the second time in his original movie making career, during the Spanish Civil War (see also The Devil's Backbone), was up for best original screenplay, obviously he didn't win; again, I think he should have.
