I don't think I wanna watch United 93. The Queen should have won. Such a good, pleasant but intelligent film as well. The sort of film that peole don't make very often should win awards so that more films like that will be made. It's obvius and it's logicfal and don't understand why dcritics don't praise and honor films like The Queen.
