1. I haven't seen it but from what I understand Waiting for Superman is just an hour and a half of

neo-liberal anti-union propaganda. Apparently the only real message of the film is "hooray for charter schools".

Screw that...

7. Also nominated, Gasland
because it is also excellent. Still not nominated due to a staggering lack of excellence, Waiting For Superman.
