I don't get it

"Million Dollar Baby": Predictable, stereotypical, melodramatic, un-entertaining, seven Oscar nominations.

"Garden State": Unpredictable, refreshing, dramatic, funny, zero Oscar nominations. (But it did win the Florida Film Critics "Breakout" award. Alas, they also honored Hilary Swank for her work in MDB.)

"Shaun of the Dead": Best movie I saw all year, zero Oscar nominations. (And nothing from the Florida Film Critics, either.)

"77th Annual Academy Awards": What I won't be watching come Feb. 27.
