He is not underrated. His personal life damaged his reputation for a while. That’s all. Fun fact: Mel helped Robert Downey Jr when RDJ was in his darkest period of life. And RDJ helped Mel many years later.

So nice to see Alan Ladd Jr. get a well deserved Oscar to highlight his amazing career in film producing/leading studios. He's the man that tapped George Lucas to make Star Wars...he tapped Ridley Scott to make Alien and he told Mel it made sense for him to not only act in this movie (a given) but to direct it (not a given by any means).

After seeing Braveheart when it was released in Glasgow, Scotland, it inspired me to seek out books from the local library (pre-internet) and read up on my Scottish history. I learned so much. We were never really taught our Scottish history in school, save for a spider and an obscure Scottish king (Bruce) and scant few other morsels from our past. Why weren't we taught any Scottish history in school? for fear of what's taking place today in Scotland today - an awakening. London were afraid of the consequences of Scots learning about their history, their culture, their land, their heroes. Supressing and distorting information - what they do - meant they could cow us, rule us, disrespect us and rob us. The burgeoning of information from the internet has caused a stirring in Scotland, a desire to want what every nation on the planet desires; simply to govern itself. Let's start by Googling 'The Scottish Enlightenment' and quoting Voltaire: "It is to Scotland that we must look for our idea of civilisation." What happened to that Scotland? Nothing happened to it, except it was hidden, intentionally, expertly by the avaristic and bellligerent Westminster crew. No more. We have no quarrel with our English neighbours, a popular myth put-about by those threatened by the inevitability of Scottish independence, instead, we welcome everyone, every nationality, every race and every religion. Is it so wrong to want self-determination? Of course not, it's the most natural thing in the world. Welcome, everyone, to our wonderful country.

[@adamzanzie]

At 2:11, when "Babe" is mentioned as one of the nominees, you can see George Miller (the film's producer) in the audience, and director Chris Noonan seated in front of him. How telling that they were not seated side-by-side. They had a bitter falling-out during the production, and Noonan accused Miller of trying to take all credit for the movie's success. That's why Miller directed the sequel himself instead of Noonan.
