"Oscar winning"

Okay people, be warned.  Diatribe a-coming.

I was appalled to read today that an Oscar-winning director will be working on the next Twilight film. Now I'm a twi-hard, don't get me wrong. But there are two things wrong with this statement. First, no Oscar winning anything should stoop to being in these movies. They are remakes of a pop culture phenomenon after all.  Second, HE'S NOT AN OSCAR WINNING DIRECTOR!!!!  Bill Condon won an Oscar for screen writing back in 1998.  He's never even been nominated in the directing category!  It's like saying Olympic Champion runner Ian Thorpe (With those feet, he'd probably trip himself up anyway!).  Writing and directing are two very different disciplines.  To win an award for one, does not mean you can claim it for the other!!!!
