How did this movie not WIN all of the Oscars? Jon Brion. Tom Cruise (nominated). Best Picture. Best Director. Best Original Screenplay (nominated). Best Cinematography (no, why did The Matrix not get nominated for and win Best Cinematography?) Why didn't P.T. Anderson win the Golden Palm? It has to be said, 1999 was an AMAZING year for cinema, but still... I checked the IMDb Awards page and even the movie did win some awards (Anderson a Golden Bear, Tom Cruise a Golden Globe at least), Jon Brion only received a Grammy nomination for this score. What?
