Well, sorrow in the Lappin household: In America did not get an Oscar. [Lost in Translation](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0335266/?ref=lorcandempsey.net "Lost in Translation (2003)") got the screenplay Oscar. I saw this on the flight to Australia, appropriately, and again on DVD. I liked the way it showed the dislocating effect of jet lag, and the glancing, uncomprehending sense of elsewhere the brief business visit gives.
