I haven't even seen Once, and I'm shocked at the total omission of nominated songs. And yeah, the wrong song was picked for Enchanted. Best Musical Number, sure ... but Happy Working Song was the best song of the small bunch in that film. (Heheh, they distributed a free soundtrack CD in every copy of Daily Variety yesterday, so that was a minor score ... 'cause I love Happy Working Song.)

As usual, the nominated films are drastically weighted towards releases in the last month. While that's usually when the studios deign to release their serious, "Oscar-worthy" films ... surely there were some contenders released in the other 11 months.

Of course, I can't think of any offhand. Can anyone come up with any snubs of great films or performances that had the misfortune to be in theaters January through October??
