More proof that Hollywood just doesn't get it. RESTREPO should have been the winner hands down. God Bless the brave men and women that serve our country.

A movie about Greed and Corruption wins??!! The Academy overlooks a TRUE war movie, RESTREPO. Epic Fail on the Academy's part. You let Hurt Locker win?????? And nothing for RESTREPO? Lame.
