2005 academy awards

It has time for me to stop paying attention to the Academy Awards because of my love for GOOD film. The nominees for Best Picture included "Crash," "Brokeback Mountain," "Munich," "Good Night, and Good Luck," and "Capote." NONE OF THESE MOVIES ARE IN THE TOP 47 GROSSING MOVIES OF 2005.  Although no indication of quality, the top grossing movies represent America's collective votes for best film. It seems to me the Academy is a little out of touch. Take a look at the list of the top 47 grossing movies below and see if any of them should have been nominated.
