Though we'll likely be selecting The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in our office pool, we find it strange that Speed Racer's insanely candy-colored visuals were on the receiving end of a snub. We can only assume that somewhere in midtown Manhattan, Time film critic Richard Corliss is weeping. [Awards Daily]
