The most interesting thing to say about this list is that it feels a bit vanilla. Sure, these are all largely acclaimed films, but other than Spider-Man, there are no shocking inclusions. Some of the major Oscar players that aren’t listed are Air and The Color Purple. The former really needed this posting to remain in the game while the latter’s late release will be what some chock up its absence to.
