1997 Alternate Oscars

James Ellroy, author of the novel L.A. Confidential, is one of my favorite writers — wild, jittery, paranoid, cranked on Benzedrine and black coffee, writing twenty-three hours a day. Linear, he is not. That director Curtis Hanson and screenwriter Brian Helgeland were able to pull one of the best movies of the decade out of Ellroy's gloriously convoluted epic is one of the miracles of movie history and a testament to their commitment and craft.
