I think obviously the goal that we all have is to make high quality movies. I think the days when your commercial films were lower quality have gone because the consumer is aggressive with the choices they have. So that’s why I guess when I look at this year and I see big studio films are actually being recognized, then I do believe it’s part of our job is to win Oscars. I think consumers are voting that way, and I think the Academy hopefully will vote that way, too.
