I think Moneyball shouldn’t win either because it was a movie about celebrating a person who ran a team that never won anything. Wouldn’t it have been more interesting and just to make a movie about Theo Epstein who was able to end the Red Sox World Series drought?

Any truth to the rumor that Beane offered to produce the Oscars on a budget, and was willing to trade Billy Crystal for three young comedians? (He couldn’t possibly be worse that Brett Ratner was likely to be.)

He seems like a pretty down-to-earth guy.
