Article Abstract:
The rules that limit Oscar nominations to just 5 per category assure that in years with many fine movies, many deserving films do not win nominations. Films that were slighted for the 1996 awards include 'Hamlet,' 'Michael Collins' and 'Evita.' Behind the scenes politics often determines what is nominated.
