Wonderful script and great performances to recognize, quite apart from the great directing skills and the fantasticness of the picture as a whole. Oh well. It's just the Oscars.

Doubt there's a political taboo about Polanski - he was nominated for Tess and won for The Pianist (both since he fled the US).
As far as Inception goes - I've noticed that even though I was excited to talk about the movie and conjecture on its meaning when it was first released, I have no real desire to watch it again. I wonder if that means anything...
(Meanwhile, I just watched a super-cool thriller that didn't even get a US theatrical release. It's a movie that I want to watch again immediately. I ordered the UK blu-ray and should have it in days. There will be an unofficial movie night (and a brief break from Oscar viewing) soon.)
