Statistics and the Oscar nominations

[GonzoStyle]

well unfortunatly the indie flicks which sometimes have amazing performances don't get much, if any notice and they are the ones who get really overlooked. Though thankfully you have festivals like Cannes, Sundance and others that recognize these films and sometimes get them out into the main stream for oscar consideration.

The oscars mostly just don't get it right. LoTR was a predicatable win last year because all 3 films were announced already and you knew it'd lose the 1st 2 and win on the last film.
