It's as if the nominators can't remember anything they've seen more than 4-6 months ago. I think this year's nominations support this theory with a *vengeance*. Most of the nominations come from films released since Christmas. I wish I had a list of films that have been released since last year's nominations, but I can't remember them either. Any reminders of early Oscar releases that got overlooked? -- Randy Applegate ATT&T Bell Laboratories ..ihuxn!apple
