Andersen connections

While poking around looking for info on the Enron collapse, I followed a link on Andersen’s site to a page on the 2001 European Film Awards. In addition to being a patron sponsor of the European Film Academy, Andersen serves as the official notary for the awards. Amélie cleaned up—it was named best film, Jean-Pierre Jeunet won best director and Bruno Delbonnel was named best cinematographer.

But in light of revelations that Andersen employees were instructed to destroy documents related to their audit of Enron, will the legitimacy of those awards be thrown into doubt? Actually, if more undeserved praise is heaped on Russell Crowe during the Oscars, that’ll be when things will start looking really suspicious.

    What is it about Amelie? Everyone I know is gushing over it, but we can’t get it in Tampa for some reason. I guess we’ll have to wait for the DVD….
