There is always a lot of buzz after the Oscar nominations about who got "snubbed", but my basic feeling is that the Oscar nominations (not to mention the awards themselves) can't be taken all that seriously. I start from the position that it is unlikely that I will agree with the Academy on much of anything, and then allow myself to be pleasantly surprised by the occasional points of agreement.
After I see a movie in a theatre, I go into IMDB and give the movie a score from 1 to 9 (I rarely give out 10's--just because.) Anyway, here is the list of 9's that I gave to last year's movies:
"In the Shadow of the Moon" - documentary
"In the Valley of Elah"
"Juno"
"The King of Kong" - documentary
"Michael Clayton"
"Sicko" - documentary
Interesting that 3 out of the 6 that I gave a 9 to were documentaries.
