Oscar Nominations

Remember when a box office of $100 million meant something?

There is not one unnominated film in the top 19 movies of 2005 (those that crossed $100 million) that screams out for a nomination. The closest you get are Narnia and King Kong and I don't think anybody can express surprise at the lack of nominations.

If relatively underwatched movies got nominated maybe it isn't a sign that the Academy is out of touch but a sign that audiences are stupid and just go where the commercials on TV tell them.
