Every year is a "weak" year for the Oscar's because they only pick "Best Picture" nominees from a very small pool of films, i.e. major US studio releases (LMS notwithstanding). That is why piece of crap films like "Crash" and "Mystice River" get nominated, and sometimes even win.
The Oscars, to me at least, are as discredited as the Grammy Awards. If you want to use an awards show or festival to dictate your movie tates (which you shouldnt in the first place) try to follow what is going on at the Berlin or Venice film festivals.
