  16. >Has a western ever won the Oscar for best picture?  It just seems that the
  17. >genre, along with animation and science fiction, is prejudiced against by the
  18. >Academy Awards every year.  If that's so, "Unforgiven" might not win the best
  19. >picture award.  But then again, there's always the first time.

  21. Actually, it wouldn't be the first time. A Western called "Cimmaron" won back
  22. in the 30s, I believe, and some people call "Dances With Wolves" a Western,
  23. though that classification is open to debate.
