BSG all the way
Are only wide-release films eligible? I mean, how could ALL of the Best Pic nominess, other than the wide-released CCOBB, get snubbed?
in what world could you ever justify a piece of crap like heroes getting more nominations than a true work of art like BSG. something doesnt seem right about that. heroes should never be mentioned in the same breath as LOST and BSG
