It could also be seen as WB twisting someone's arm over the Dark Knight snub.

It could be lots of things actually.

New game: pick the five films that should have been nominated from previous years! -- nm - David Jun 24, 10:31 1
- 2000 would be easy. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 24, 10:49
So becuase The Reader stole a nom from Dark Knight, Wall-E, Wrestler etc etc etc..this is their answer. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 10:31 9
- It's always movies that guilt people into liking them. So if I don't rush out to go see certain movies, I'm an environment-hating white supremacist -- nm - con_carne Jun 24, 10:37 1
  - aren't you already, though? - znufrii Jun 24, 10:38

  - Snubs will still be there. There are 64 teams invited to the NCAA tourney, and every year people say team A should have made it instead. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 10:38 3

      - I think this is mostly ratings and ad revenue driven. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 10:43 1
        
        yes. *ding* -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 10:45
- Well, they're certainly not going to do anything to the Weinsteins, because that would take bravery. -- nm - David Jun 24, 10:32 1
  - I wonder if the Weinstein's have compromising photos of most of the Academy or just Ganis? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 10:33
I still say this wasn't a snub, it just wasn't a great movie. -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 10:30
But for Dark Knight to have been a "snub" it would've had to have been deserving of a nomination. It wasn't. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 24, 10:29 10
- This example is a f'rinstance. I thought it was good but not great too, but there was as uproar about it. - Diva Jun 24, 10:33

  - Oh come on. It wasn't even in the same league as Heat. -- nm - Loyola Jun 24, 10:35 3
    - you're right. It was better. And I LOVE Heat. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 10:48
    - Actually, Heat should have been nominated. Don't think it was. -- nm - Loyola Jun 24, 10:36 1
      - Heat was completely shut out on Oscar nods, which still blows me away. -- nm - David Jun 24, 10:41
  - here's an idea: keep the 5 open slots for nominations, and each of the additional five spots reserved for a particular genre film - znufrii Jun 24, 10:35 3
    - I don't think we can assume there will be a nomination-worthy movie in each genre each year. - Jelly Jun 24, 10:38 1
      - then have a list of seven or eight genre categories, of which they pick five in any given year -- nm - znufrii Jun 24, 10:39
    - Or... the ones people whine the MOST about not getting nominated can fill in the 5 slots. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 24, 10:36
