I figured that either A Single Man or Crazy Heart would score a Best Pic nomination instead of The Blind Side because it seemed that last year many of the nominees were not great films but three or four were huge actor vehicles, meaning the actors were mostly the only redeeming quality. Though I suppose The Blind Side fits that description, if Sandra is really that good, so it's not overly surprising since there seemed to be a concious effort to stray away from the obvious prestige pic picks.
