Disability and this year's Oscars
Mar.24, 2002 -- "A Beautiful Mind" has won the Academy Award for Best Picture. We've had lots of movies this year with disabled characters. Does Hollywood "get it" about disability, or not? I'm inclined to think Hollywood gets it a bit better than it used to. But the fact is, the movie medium simply doesn't handle complexity -- and in the case of disability, that can sometimes lead to problems.
