I am so frustrated with the shoddiness in current-day journalism:
I just read an article in which the writer, trying to explain why "Avatar" lost at the Oscars, stated that 12 years ago, Cameron's "Titanic" was nominated for a "record" 14 Oscars and won a "record" 9 Oscars!
Balderdash! "Titanic" tied with "All About Eve" for the record number of nominations...or, rather, "matched" 'Eve's" record. As for wins, 9 was hardly a "record'. "The Last Emperor" won 9. "West Side Story" won 10.
The fact is that "Titanic" won 11 -- "matching " "Ben-Hur's" record 11 wins. And a few years later, "The Return of the King" matched it again.
These facts are so EASY to verify...yet, year after year, entertainment wirters just make stuff up and pronounce this that and the other as though they had a clue about that which they are writing.
