Miracle at the Oscars

Last night I asked about Big Trouble in Little China. Now I want ask about a movie that should have been nominated for anything: 2004’s Miracle.

This should have been nominated in my opinion for lead actor (Kurt Russell), Director (Gavin O’ Connor), Picture, and screenplay.

Why was it shut out? Was the competition too strong? Was it not as successful as people thought? A story like this should be primed for Oscar nominations
