re: Revisiting This Year's Best Picture Oscar Noms

I think it was a strong year. It didn't have any great films, depending on your opninion on Inception - so let's leave that alone, but there were a lot of very good films. It's not going to go down in the history books like 1939 or anything, but this was a really deep field of Oscar contenders. No real chumps in the bunch, other than the Kids are Alright, which at least had a great performance from Annette Benning.
