He’s looking to [...] First, a piece I did for E! on the top 5 Oscar movies most people haven’t seen but should: 5. Food Inc. (Best Documentary Feature) Why you didn’t see it: Because almost every exposé of the food industry ends up telling you to go vegan, and who needs that? Meat and cheese are delicious!
