		<description><![CDATA[The 15-film &#8220;short list&#8221; for this year&#8217;s Best Documentary competition in the Academy Awards has provoked more than the usual shock and outrage, and with good reason. Every year, there&#8217;s a certain level of white-noise griping about Oscar &#8220;snubs.&#8221; This year&#8217;s list, though, isn&#8217;t just lackluster &#8212; there&#8217;s something fundamentally off  about it.

An obsessively long article in today&#8217;s New York Times chronicles the supposed emergence of Crazy Heart, a low-budget movie starring Jeff Bridges as a washed-up country singer , as a possible Oscar contender. Now, maybe Crazy Heart is great, maybe Jeff Bridges is great (he usually is), and maybe this is one of the best <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=movie-critics.ew.com&blog=8336989&post=3302&subd=ewmoviecritics&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Like anyone else immersed in the classic American movies of that time (and, <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=movie-critics.ew.com&blog=8336989&post=3275&subd=ewmoviecritics&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
