Oh, so those are the movies you think should've won that year they were nominated? I'd agree with some, but I think Inception should've won at 2011 Oscars. I think Memento should've won the 2001 Best Pic, but it wasn't even nominated. I already included a Nolan movie though, so I didn't want to include another.

All of those are amazing movies you listed though

I think Memento and Pulp Fuction ran into the same problem. New directors doing something diffrent. The oscar committee are a bunch of "seasoned" vets that really dislike people messing with thier cheese.

Inception was another great year... I wouldnt be upset if it won, not mad at the winner that year and even True Grit deserves a nod. Glad social network did not win.
