Okay, and the point is....
The Dark Knight made more than all the Best Picture nominees in 4 days and it still got snubbed. How much a film makes in the box office does not determine anything. That's of course if you were trying to say Benjamin Button should win b/c of this.
I think Slumdog Millionaire is the best out of the five and even though I crave a surprise to happen almost every year in any category, we all know Slumdog is still winning Sunday night. Benjamin Button will be rewarded in the tech categories. At least I hope it does, b/c I really don't think Slumdog deserves to win everything like ppl are saying. Cinematography especially.
