Love your top ten, so refreshing to find people who didn't snub A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints (including Shia Labeouf) and Bobby. Your winners for the "Davis Film Winners" were great as well, such as Michael Sheen (Oscar SNUB), Cate Blanchett, Children of Men and Todd Field & Tom Perrotta for Best Adapted Screenplay. All of those were my picks as well.
