Sigourney Weaver slams the Oscars: Sci-fi films don't get enough respect

[Daniel]

Just read this and am passing it along - Sigourney Weaver strikes a blow for all of us by standing up for sci-fi. We need more sci-fi icons (even though she doesn't consider herself one but ... who are we kidding - she's one of us) to be saying the same thing

Sigourney Weaver: Sci-fi films don't get enough respect

Good for her!

Personally, I don't find the Oscars remotely relevant. They always reward a certain kind of film, and it's not the kind of film that appeals to me.

I used to assert, to whomever listened (mostly to myself) that the Aliens four make a real, significant, major work of art. I'd like to write an essay on them...

I find the Oscars and excellent guide to films that I would not want to watch.

Although I have many issues with SF in films, it is indeed good to hear someone speak up for the genre.
