You left out the best American film from 2006, and the likely Best Picture winner. . .

I'm stumped.

2006:
Here's one possible slate of Best Picture nominees: Pan's Labyrinth, Children of Men (yay!!!), United 93, The Departed, and Miami Vice (damn that cabal!).

Front and center!

D'oh!

In my defense, I find these posts incredibly hard to read.

To be fair, I find these posts incredibly hard to read.

I worried about. I played with the formatting early on (1981?), but nothing really worked. Probably should have focused on just a few titles rather than try to work in everything, but oh well.
