Re: Oscars: Maintstream genres get a little breathing room

In the article titled "Oscars: Mainstream genres get a little breathing room" by Susan Wloszczyna, she explains how more of the mainstream movies may earn a spot on the nominee list for the Oscars. For Documentary, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story, was seen as the most likely choice for the documentary category, even though it didn't spark as much passionate debate as Farhenheit 9/11 in 2004. For Animated Feature, Pixar's UP seems likely for the spot, as critics loved it and the box office made millions. For Tech-Loaded Blockbuster, of course James Cameron's Avatar would be a more than likely choice, as long as it lives up to its hype. Foreign Language Film would  be The White Ribbon by Michael Haneke of Germany. Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds take the spot for Action Thriller. The Hangover was seen as the years best comedy, however its sex farces have never been an academy favourite, so It's Complicated would probably take the spot. As this article was from a year ago, reading this article was a little weird. As I (and everyone) knows that Avatar definitely lived up to its hype, and then some. I would agree with the articles choices for the movies, as I adored UP and I would assume Capitalism: A Love Story would be good, as I have seen Farhenheit 9/11. Although I definitely think that the academy should get past its hatred for sex farces, as The Hangover was a lot funnier than It's Complicated.
