A noted cinematic phenomenon of the late eighties and early nineties was the number of Oscars which went to actors playing characters who were either physically or mentally handicapped
 or who had been physically abused. The Oscar nominations were given to the best actor in the world, and the Academy Awards were awarded to those who could not be physically handicaps. In the case of "The Big Lebowski", the Oscar winners were the most famous of all time, but the other nominees were not. This film was a great example of how the Oscars were supposed to be about the human condition, not about Hollywood. It was an amazing film, with great performances by the actors, great cinematography, superb cinematographic techniques, amazing cinematics, incredible cinemas, terrific cinema-making, fantastic cinematic effects, wonderful cinematically-enhanced cinemacapes, magnificent cinemascapes and great acting. I loved it. But I also loved the fact that it was directed by a man who was not a Hollywood star. He was very much a director, a filmmaker, an actor, who loved to make films, to create great films. And he loved making great movies. So I think that this film is a perfect example. If you look at the film itself, you will see that the director was really a genius. His genius was in creating great cinema, in making amazing films and in producing great film-makers. That is why
, and the fact that the Academy was so keen to award them for their talents, that it was a great opportunity for them to show their talent. The Academy's decision to give the Oscar to a character who was physically handicap was an incredible achievement, but it is also a testament to the great talent of these actors, who had to work hard to get the recognition they deserved.
