Oliver Stone beating Allen at the Academy Award is BS!

BS I TELL YOU! ALL CAPS RAGE. The thing is Oliver Stone is not that great of a director. Even though he served in the Vietnam war he fantasized it way too heavily compared to Woody Allen's direction of a fantasized romance/love triangle/dramedy. I mean in Platoon William Dafoe gets shot like what 13 times until he actually lays down and dies. That makes no sense.

What do you call a bunch of crows?
