‘Magic Mike’ not nominated

Just about every year, brilliant movies are utterly ignored by the Oscars. “The Searchers,” “Groundhog Day,” “Breathless,” “King Kong,” “Casino Royale,” “Touch of Evil,” “Caddyshack,” “Mean Streets,” “The Big Lebowski” — the Academy has a long history of overlooking comedies, action movies, horror flicks, hard-boiled genre pics, artsy foreign films, and documentaries that aren’t about World War II. This year, we’ll be taking a closer look at films that were too small, too weird, or perhaps simply too awesome for the Academy Awards. These are the Non-Nominees.
