Such is the case every year, when the Oscar nominations were announced this morning there were several key omissions. No Julianne Moore? No Samantha Morton? Um, The Blind Side" as Best Picture? Really? Anyways, because snubs sting, I've concocted a way to honor the Oscar forgotten. I've selected some films and actors left in the dark this morning, and nominated them for "Forgotscars." Vote for your favorites from now until March 7. Unfortunately I can't offer any gold statues for any of the winners but in the court of public opinion, this vote matters. Here are the nominees...
