@greenhorg Although I agree with your thoughts on Academy bias, I must correct you. Double Indemnity was, in fact, nominated for Best Picture, as well as six other awards (though it didn't win any).

@greenhorg
While I appreciate your post you do realise that many films go unappreciated at their time of release, both critically and commercially, and only decades later gain the regard which they deserved at the time.

@merlynwise: "Actually,"

Sunrise was the same year as Wings, 1927-1928, and received a different award. Some people consider Wings and Sunrise co-winners but Wings won the award that eventually became "Best Picture."

@Kinokima, it's not that big a deal, but I still dislike the inclusion of Sunrise. Here's what I was referring to (from Wikipedia, same source as used for the list):
"The next year, the Academy instituted a single award called Best Production, and decided retroactively that the award won by Wings had been the equivalent of that award, with the result that Wings is often listed as the winner of a sole Best Picture award for the first year. The title of the award was eventually changed to Best Picture for the 1931 awards."

The one thing that's really aggravating me about the nominees list is that no one can ever honestly get a platinum on that list since The Patriot is a lost film.

I agree, I was like...why?

I am excited about the possibility of a nominee checklist. I've got the 00's complete and a good portion of 90's done. I'm still working on the 250 next though, so it'll be pushed back, but I can't wait, I was planning on watching those.

@dAJaro: The movies which are on the Leonard Maltin list but are not on TSPDT are: The Freshman, Sons of the Desert, Swing Time, Dodsworth, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, The Ox-Box Incident, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Mary Poppins, and Blazing Saddles.

Regardless, I've changed my mind. I now agree with you and naikou; I now think "I'd rather have the winners included on the nominees list" but I also would definitely like to have the BP list exist on its own.

I'd rather have the winners included on the nominees list, personally.
