Awards

So, everyone at the New York Times thinks that A History of Violence should get nominated for various awards. I saw that movie. There was a very sexy sex scene on the stairs, then there were guns, then I fell asleep. Before all that there was a 69 scene that made me very uncomfortable. I don't know what I was supposed to gain from this graphic novel turned Viggo-fest. Does this make me a) a puritan b) lacking in nuance c) right? Anybody see this thing?
