And The Nominees Are...
My observation about this year's Oscar nominations? The combined titles of last year's nine Best Picture nominees were much closer to being pangrammic than this year's nine. Last year only a Q and X were lacking; this year J, Q, X, and Z are all absent.
Boo.
But, come September, there is a very decent chance that the Top-10 U.S. Box Office movie title will be pangrammic. This has never happened before (Top-13 is the smallest pangrammic list historically).
I will, of course, keep everyone updated...
