While I said I like titanic, I would of gone with As Good as it Gets or LA Confidential for that Oscar year. And I just said I would like a comedy to win it sometime, I didn't say 2008. It's just rare to see a comedy even nominated. Which in the titanic year, The Full Monty was a comedy that got nominated.
