From: Steven.Schlick@N2.SP.CS.CMU.EDU
Here are the Oscar nominations for 1991, as stolen from the net.  As
expected, gangster films made a strong showing this year, although Al Pacino
had to settle for a Supporting Actor nomination for his work in Dick Tracy.

In order to stir up discussion, I've included a few opinionated comments
with the list.
