went to the BT Blackstone Library，not far from Lake Michigan，once a weekYou could easily miss the building if you didnt know what you were looking forBut once you were inside，you could never mistake it for anything elseWe passed through two sets of heavy brass doorsto the lobby of the libraryAnd if we turned right then，we could see an alcove with tables； this led，in turn，to a big reading room with a great and ancient globe that sat in front of the largest windowsAt some time during every visit I found my way into that room to touch the globeI liked to look at Africa，with the coded colors of the different countries like the Belgian Congo and Rhodesia，and try to remember which countries were fighting to be free just as we were struggling for civil rightsI had heard Daddy talking about the struggle，arguing with the television as someone discussed it on a news showOn Saturday，as I wandered through the young adult sectionI saw a title：Little Women，by Louisa May AlcottI could tell from looking at the shelf that shed written a lot of books，but I didnt know anything about herI had learned from experience that titles werent everythingA book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home，and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to read until we went back in a weekSo I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs：Christmas wont be Christmas without any presentsgrumbled Jo，lying on the rugIts so dreadful to be poorsighed Med，looking down at her old dressI dont think its fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things，and other girls nothing at alladded little Amy，with an injured sniffWe have got Father and Mother and each othersaid Beth contentedly from her cornerIt was a thing I had decided on some other books to take home，because I didnt look through the rest of the section that dayI read and read and read Little Women it was time to walk home，and expect for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating，I wouldnt put it down until the endEven the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in girls who could almost be like me，especially JoIt seemed to me a shame that she wasnt Black：then our similarity would be completeShe loved to read，she loved to make up plays，she hated acting ladylike，she had a dreadful temperI had found a kindred spirit56What can be learned about the

telecast，which ran as long as Gone With the Wind（though with fewer important roles for African Americans），and the threemonth death march of criticscitations，guild（行业） awards and expert opinions on whod winIn case you nodded off，Birdman took Best Picture and Director，and the acting prizes went to Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of EverythingJulianne Moore for Still Alice，JKSimmons for Whiplash and Patricia Arquette for Boyhoodfour folks whom most people know from the speeches they gave，not the movies they were inThis year，the only big hit among the eight Best Picture finals was American SniperThe other seven were arthouse filmsYou see，there is Hollywood，which makes movies the whole world watches，and there is offHollywood，which hatches the films that get OscarsSomebody has to ask：Why does Hollywood hate what it does for a living？It can be as simple asfilmsare great andmoviesare rubbishOn the Rotten Tomatoes website，which shows the reviews of dozens of criticsBirdman pulled a 93 rating（out of 100）and The Imitation Game an 89But some popular hits also scored with the critics：91 for Guardians of the Galaxy，89 for Captain America：The Winter Soldier，88 for Gone Girl and a dramatic 96 for The Lego MovieAudiences liked these four films too，paying more than 51 billion to see them in North American theaters（plus another 1.3billion dollars abroad）So why werent at least a couple of these films nominated for Best Pictures？Maybe simply because they were popularThey got their awards as cash prizes，not Oscar statuettesThe Oscar winners have become a category of little films about big diseasesAnother disconnect between Oscar voters and moviegoers：agesThe average age of the 6.7000Academy members is about 60，and they see most of the nominated films on screeners at homeBasically，they want movies to be television：educating，intimate dramasThe stories they respond to are not of youngsters on grand queststhe action filmbut of unsung heroes battling weakness and approaching deathThe very first Oscar party，in 1929，had two Best Picture categories：one foroutstanding picture（William Wellmans spectacle Wings），the other forunique and artistic picture（EW Mumaus masterpiece Sunrise）Maybe the Academy，obsessed with indie（独立制片的） artistry，should return to the double awardThen Avatar could win along with The Hurt Locker，and Gravity with 12 Years a Slave，even the new Star Wars might have a shot63It can be inferred from the last sentence of Paragraph 1that Anot many people saw the four filmsBthe four films won the awards as expectedCawards shouldnt be given to
