Can anyone explain to me, why?
After all the great hoopla over "300" when it was released, why did it not rate even one nomination for anything???
Not even for visual effects? This was like, the "movie-of-the-year" when it came out and dazzled us all! Can anybody explain to me why no oscar nods? ...other than it came out too early in the year!(that dog don''t hunt, look at "Silence of the Lambs" some years back, and it was an early-in-the-year release). Why did everybody snub "300", Zach Snyder, Frank Miller, Gerard Butler, etc.......? Is it just me?
