Not to nitpick, and I don't feel her award was deserved for As Good As It Gets, nor do I like that movie, but who gets the award instead? Also up for the award were Dame Judi Dench as a queen with a tough exterior, I'm sure. Julie Christie, who was terrific in a movie nobody saw. Helena Bonham Carter (never saw it).…

From what I understand there is a rule that the athletes will compete to the best of their abililties, hence disqualification. In addition to your example (but let's remember that goals in soccer are much fewer and further between than badminton points), there's the notion of 'saving it for the final' in any race. Is…
