Will the dynamic exposé on big Agribusiness, 'Food, Inc' be nominated for an Oscar?

Background: With the film 'Food, Inc.' the veil on our nation's food industry is lifted, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA.

Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment.

We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli--the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually.

"The Industry doesn't want you to know the Truth".
In light of the battles that have been launched and continue to be fought regarding truth in labeling one can assume this statement is an understatement.
