I'm genuinely shocked. I like Dylan as much as anyone else (well, I guess not actually since I wouldn't give him this award)...but come on...
This is a strange choice by the Academy. Given their penchant for politics, they might have gone with Adonis, who would have been an apt (and worthwhile) choice. And there are so many writers I think are more deserving of this award.
But so be it. I do like his music.
