Since King Kong was more critically acclaimed than Munich, I was really hoping that it would sneak in and take that 5th Best Picture spot.

I thought Naomi Watts gave an amazing performance as Ann Darrow, worthy of an Oscar nomination. And I thought the film itself was better than both Munich and Crash (although I'm really happy that Crash got a nod).
