3/1/14 BRUCE BROUGHTON's EXCELLENT "OPEN LETTER" re BEST SONG FIASCO,ACADEMY AWARDS (I've been watching this sooap opera unfold since being there the morning they announced the nominations & it appears that Bruce was wrongly rebuked & the song by Joni was wrongly removed...and here's his letter of self-defense & exhortation for a better system that doesn't favor the big-money commercial movies at the expense of the lower-budget independents,Christian films,et al. Joni is a great inspiration to many of us in the Christian community...I heard NPR cover this controversy & one of them referred to Joni as some "Christian quadriplegic pastor" as if she was a remote public Christian figure of some sort that hardly anybody's ever heard of,but those of us in the Christian community know better..and affectionaly know her as simply Joni..(pronounced "Johnny") and she's been around a lot longer than the NPR guy who dissed her. But apart from that, the song is beautiful, & obviously a lot of the academy members agreed. I stand behind Bruce in calling upon the Academy to change the system so that ALL songs have an equal chance based on merit rather than big money & big Hollywood! I am NOT affiliated with the oscars NOR am I a personal friend or acquaintance of Bruce.,search:oscars,academy awards,best song,bruce broughton,joni, ;*read more,incl. Full Letter,@
