I'D LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY...

Days in our beloved traffic department can get pretty dramatic, but never this intense. Plus, we're super law-abiding!



“Traffic” (2000) directed by Steven Soderbergh, won multiple Oscars for Best Director (Soderbergh), Best Supporting Actor (Benicio del Toro), Best Adapted Screenplay (Stephen Gaghan) and Best Film Editing (Stephen Mirrione).
Did you know…?
The film has 135 speaking parts and was shot in over 110 locations in eight different cities.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas were engaged before filming began; they married soon after. They do not appear in any scenes together.
In the original big screen release, Caroline (Erika Christensen) states that she attends Cincinnati Country Day. Stephen Gaghan, (screenplay), attended a private school in Louisville, KY called Kentucky Country Day and was expelled the week before his graduation for driving a go-cart down the halls of the school.
After filming one day, actor James Brolin returned to his car to find two youths attempting to break in. Still in his general's uniform, he frightened away the would-be thieves, who mistook him for a real military officer.
