Cinematic Concerns

Considering the Academy has collectively decided to make really odd choices, ones that to be honest kowtows too much to the speculations of the bloggers and tabloid media of the past few weeks (in other words, forgetting that they are the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and are not supposed to be led on by the deceptively valid viewpoints of nominal media), this is what I would've vote for if I was in a position to do so:
