Round One Concludes!—10:16 AM
The final matchup in round one of this year's Movie Tournament (of Movies) is active now. Starting tomorrow, we'll begin voting on the next round of matchups (though voting in first round matchups will remain open until a winner must advance).
So far, it's looking like a sweep for the Best Picture nominees. This means one of two things: we've got five tremendously fantastic Best Picture nominees this year, or I didn't do a very good job designing the bracket. I'm leaning towards the latter.
Which smells like an opportunity for discussion. The Movie Tournament (of Movies) shall continue, of course. Just because a system is deeply flawed doesn't mean we stop playing (see, "Democracy, American"; "Football Championship, BCS"). But, for the sake of conversation, which movies do you think should have been included in this year's tournament?
Andy has already posted his dream list (and I was tempted to include Children of Men, but it just wasn't as substantial as it thought it was) – who else has some picks?
