HFPA to Spielberg: Good night and good luck

Yes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. threw a couple of bones to Steven Spielberg’s “Munich.” But no best picture nomination? “Munich”‘s Oscar chances aren’t as dead as those of “Memoirs of a Geisha.” Yet. But no one is calling “Munich” the front-runner any longer, either. Including Spielberg among the group’s list of six directors is hilarious. HFPA members don’t like “Munich” enough to put it among its 10 nominated pictures, but Spielberg is Spielberg and his mug on TV will boost viewership more than David Cronenberg’s. It’s all about the ratings isn’t it?
