I do wonder if WALL-E and TDK were really all that far apart, though. At least WALL-E had a Screenplay nomination. Nolan got shut out entirely. There was reason to really think that TDK had a realistic shot at a nomination, especially with its precursors.

I put you in the "Likes to Generalize to Make Himself Feel Better" bucket. You should know all about that, isn't that what the snob clique is?

Re: the why of slumdog Slumdog Millionaire is far and away my favorite movie. And I've seen a zillion movies this year, including all the contenders.
It's very easy to say it's only winning because it's a 'weak year.' I could see Slumdog beating No Country for Old Men.

Re: the why of slumdog Scumdog won because The Dark Knight(greatest film of the decade) was 100% snubbed by those bastards.
