Every year there are some complains about this or that movie/actor/blabla not being nominated. Benicio Del Toro got at least recognition at the Cannes film fest. I was for myself surprised that Joaquin Phoenix didn’t get a nomination and I’m sure a lot of other users can bring their own disappointement.
I don’t know how it is for the oscars, but I think in France, when the “academy” has voted for the nominations, they all got dvds from the movies nominated to make their final vote and choose a winner in each category. Which is smarter to be sure everybody watches every movie before voting.
