It has been suggested that films that come out just before the Oscar
nominations are often nominated much more than films that were
released erlier in the (Oscar) year.  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?
