And SF, aren't they paid for being on the Academy? As in, this is their jobs? They should be able to see every nominee, especially considering two people who voted for 12 Years a Slave didn't even see it.

And if it wasn't for The Wind Rises and Ernst and Celestine being foreign, they would have had a much better chance. I mean come on, The Wind Rises is a Miyazaki film. And Frozen is nice, but... It's Miyazaki.

Plus, Frozen never had a chance for Best Picture. If The Great Beauty didn't get nominated, there's no way Frozen had a shot.
