OLIVER STONE was told that his film Nixon had won no Oscars by the Zapatistas in Reality, Mexico. Stone had been invited there by Subcomandante MARCOS, the Indian rebel group's white middle-class leader, who complimented Stone on his war films and Natural Born Killers, which Marcos had seen even though he has been in the jungle since 1994.
