Any news of the Dark Knight and Wall-E bieng nominated?
I can't see why not.

aside from that, so what's the deal with Frost/Nixon.

I mean personally I don't see why reinact it in a movie rather than just release the actual interview itself. I think I would much rather see that. Or does the movie offer more "behind the scenes" type of look?

 

No. Remember kids, hollywood hates good movies that people actually give a damn about *wink wink*

 

That's not entirely accurate. The same people that like those two usually have something along the lines of Hancock or Hellboy as their next in line. Animated features have always had the issue that they lack the ability to gather nominations because the categories are favoring live action movies. They can't get nominated for acting, special effects, costume design, and other categories. Also I believe if an animated movie makes a bid for Best Picture it has to give up it's bid as Best Animated Movie. That's how the Documentary category works so I expect it's the same. Maybe not though.

Regarding the Dark Knight, it's just mainly that the value of that movie can't be summed up in nominated categories. Basically it's a jack of all trades and a master of none. Outside of Ledger of course. In my opinion Aaron Eckhart also.

Just remember the Lord of the Rings got nominated all three years and that was more popular and mainstream than The Dark Knight and Wall-E.

 

you make a good point. I probably wouldn't compare the quality of Hancock and the dark knight though :P And Hellboy 2 wasn't half bad, Although definetly not as good or original as the first. i mean, the monsters style just felt really out of place to me.
