So, the big surprise of this year's Oscars nominations is the 15 nominations that Inside I'm Dancing has picked up. After all the criticism it received from many disabled people, Crippled Monkey is completely flabbergasted.

OK, I'm lying. It didn't really get all those nominations. In fact, it was nowhere to be found. Shame, eh?

However, there is at least some disability interest. Nominated in the category of best documentary short subject is a film called Autism is a World. Narrated by actress Julianna Margulies of ER fame, it had a limited theatrical release in the US last year, and is due to air on CNN sometime during 2005.
