That was true for a long time, but in recent years the split seems to have gotten a lot more common - in the last five ceremonies, only *once* has the same movie won Best Picture and Best Director (Birdman in 2014-15). Before that it was the sort of thing that happened once or twice a decade, at least in my lifetime.…

Legal jargon is so bad that the way Aaron Sorkin (of all people) demonstrates to the viewer that Daniel Kaffee is naive and overconfident at the beginning of A Few Good Men is by having him spout a bunch of jargon at opposing counsel until the guy just gives up and agrees to his plea bargain.
