The Academy hates sci fi.

Best film of the decade, IMO.

Non-CGI heavy sci fi films never get the benefit over movies like those.
But Children of Men is among the greatest films ever made, and was AT LEAST as good as The Departed.

That's all I've got to add to this thread.

The film itself was too heavy, too risky, and didn't play to oscar-worthy tropes.

Children of Men was really amazing.
I heard Babel was heavy-handed and kinda stupid.

I think it was good but not that good. I'll have to revisit it.

Its the Oscars. They are more famous now for screwing up than they are getting it right.
The greatest director of all time, Alfred Hitchcock, never won an Oscar. I have very little to no respect for a bunch of senile 80 year old white dudes deciding who the best director is and best picture. Hitchcock has possibly 5 of the top 50 movies of all time and best director. He wasnt even nominated for what some consider the greatest movie of all time, Vertigo, or North by Northwest, Dial M for Murder (one of my top 3 of all time), The Birds, ect. YAH ACADEMY!

That's my opinion though
