They seem like movies people obsess over while they are out, but have no real lasting appeal years down the road (although the same can be said of some of the movies that win anyway).

Well LMS was a great movie, Juno was just way overhyped and I did not see what was so great about it at all. But Slumdog is a all around great and original film, and if it does not get nominated I will be very surprised, and I will be even more surprised if TDK gets nominated.
