  1. ...From when does this take place...if WALL-E is eligible is Dark Knight? Is Ratatouille? but what really makes me angry...what earned no nominations is the PHENOMENAL score for the very underrated near masterpiece "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" was robbed of a cinematography and score win last year...it earns no score recognition on this lsit or any other...so sad...
