Break out your evening gowns… It’s time for the First Annual USDemocrazy Oscar Nomination Run-Down!
Hey… You! Stop yawning! The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has changed a time-honored tradition just to please us, the common folk. That is, they’ve expanded the “Best Picture” category from five to TEN!!!!

A little film called “The Dark Knight” saw its fans cry foul when the Academy snubbed it.
