THE JACKAL
I can honestly say, there has never been a movie up for major awards in the past 5 years or so that I have never heard of.

Those awards DO mean something. And just because most of America would prefer to watch Jessica Alba in a swimsuit fighting sharks, doesn't mean that the films you've never heard of aren't any good.

Also, in order to qualify for the Oscars, a movie MUST be released before December 31st of that movie year. So every single movie that was nominated for an Academy Award was playing in theaters at the very least a month or so before nominations for the Oscars came out.

Just thought I should clear that up.
