Yes, The Da Vinci Code was a 2006 movie (premiered at Cannes last year), and I am somewhat surprised to see it completely shut out but it deserves it.
I agree on Shyamalan. I think it was his second best movie (it just worked for me on all levels though I understand why people who don't like it don't like it). But it was hardly one of the horrible movies of the year and Shyamalan didn't embarrass himself. I think this is more a reaction to the publicity surrounding it and not the movie itself.
Ron Howard is also screwed. The movie sucked but it wasn't particularly his fault. The source sucked too.
