It seemed very unfair to me that Jamie Foxx was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe for his perfomance in that movie. No, folks, I'm not deriding his performance— just the title of Supporting Actor.

Foxx's character in the movie was the lead player of the film. Had the most screen time in the film (more than top-billed Tom Cruise), the plot was accessed through his experiences, and he was the little thing we call the PROTAGONIST of the movie... so why was he up for a Supporting Actor Golden Globe? Stupid.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
