In a move that has surprised some and shocked others, G4 has ordered a reality series about a bomb-disposal squad in Afghanistan. The show, which will follow a Navy E.O.D. unit's training sessions in the states and deployment overseas, is not connected to last year's Best Picture winner, The Hurt Locker, but it is clearly inspired by its success, which makes us wonder if we should be looking to the Best Picture category for new, better reality show ideas. With last year's category boasting a whopping ten nominees for the first time in decades, there are certainly plenty of films to choose from, so here are some shows we'd be curious to see.

Reviews of Movies We've Actually Seen
Don't Revoke My Reviewer's License, But The Blind Side Is Surprisingly WatchableThere is little worse in the world of mainstream film than movies designed to "inspire" or "uplift" through cheesy clichéd tropes of some poor bastard rising above the impossible through sheer pluck and magical, hidden talents. Moreover, when those stories also involve a white woman helping a minority individual to discover this hidden worth inside themselves by getting them off "the streets" and showing them what books are, it's usually not just bad entertainment, it's also offensive, condescending and harmful. Judging by the atrocious Blind Side trailers, I thought I was in for the worst of both those worlds, but, and I can't believe I'm saying this, it's smarter and more self-aware than that, and honestly, not that bad of a movie.

The 2010 Oscar nominations are finally here, and they are... not at all surprising! Not really, anyway. Look at it this way: The good news is you're going to win your office Oscar pool. The bad news is, so will everyone else, so you're just going to get your own twenty back. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Let me show you.
