Should "Up" be nominated for Best Picture?

"UP" Will not be released in the UK until October 2009, although it has already been shown in the US. Waiting 5 months to release a film in another country does not strike me as reasonable, especially as a lot of cinemas are digital nowadays and there is no need for a limited number of film prints to be pyhysically shipped around the world, which is what used to cause the delay. Nowadays the cinemas are digital and can download a digital version to project.

I expect this is why you have a high number of people saying they have never seen it or even heard of it. It is being advertised in the cinemas, but it is so far away, that it might as well not be.
