I know, totally wierd.
I suppose I have to throw screenplay into the mix too, that way it's 100%. And Selma has not been nominated for Screenplay either. In fact when you look through the A-list category nominations you have to scratch your head as to how Selma managed to get onto the best picture list. It has 2 nominations: 1 for song and the other for best picture. When was the last time a movie was nominated for best picture but was not even nominated for any other award that would actually contribute to making a film the best picture of the year?
I can't be bothered doing the research, but this seems pretty unprecedented.
Knowing that Selma has no other meaningful nominations the likelihood of it winning is extremely low.
159 reviews, 99% positive, average review score of 8.7/10. It is rare for the collective bunch of reviewers to be that universal in praise.

Oh, I don't doubt that it's largely political. It's the kind of "important" film they feel obligated to acknowledge, but there's an almost palpable lack of enthusiasm about it, perhaps because 12 Years a Slave won last year.

Your probably right sine 12 Years A Slave won last year it probably has pretty much no chance of winning for best picture but it probably has a very good chance at best song since that song also won at the Golden Globes it really should win because its the best song nominated the only way it can loose if they go with the most popular song again like the did last year then "Everything is Awesome" will win.
