The whole 'bums on seats' argument was decided by nominating 10 films instead of 5. Avatar would have been nominated either way. It's only the films like Up, The Blind Side and District 9 who have benefitted from this, so you can hardly use that as an excuse for it being
nominated in the first place.
As for LA Confidential - to each his own, I suppose.
