Ugh, I bought Moon (2009) directed by David Bowie's son (I'm sure he hates that that's what he's known for) Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell. Really, Sam Rockwell is the only actor in the movie, unless you want to count Kevin Spacey's voice as he voices the robot. Anyway, I bought the movie, actually Big Little Bro bought it for me because my

Oh I have known that the Oscars are a sham for a long time. They would choose rarely heard of movies for the best movies when well known movies were well loved and appreciated.

That does sound like an interesting movie.

I don't mind if they choose a rarely heard of movie- that's not the problem at all. For me it's when they choose these big blockbusters such as Avatar for best movie (granted, I don't watch the Oscar's so I don't know who won, I just thought that Avatar was nominated) when other, lesser known movies, actually deserve it. The Oscars should have less to do with popular public opinion- but should actually be looking at the merit of the movie as an art. It's because of this that comedies are never nominated for best in anything except comedies, even though it takes more skill and talent to pull one of those off successfully than other types.
What also bothers me is that, these lesser known movies such as Moon who actually deserve to be nominated at least, are going to lose out on an audience because the Oscar's would be a platform to get them out to people.

I have only heard good things about this movie. And I thought with the praise it was getting it would had been an Oscar contender, but yeah, like you said.
