Cinderella man, however, got snubbed despite being a very compelling and well done movie.
I will have to say, I thought that was one of the better movies of 2005, by far. The cinemetography, storyline, acting, costumes, etc., were all top notch. Ron Howard doesn't do bad movies, but sometimes I think his stuff gets snubbed, because they're too good. They're nothing out of the ordinary for him, so they don't get nearly as much acclaim as they're due.
I think part of Ron Howard's problem (or stigma, I guess) is he has done a lot of light fare. Only with Apollo 13 did he really start to do higher caliber material. (Not that his earlier stuff is horrible or anything)
