America has always been paramount in portraying negative representations and stereotypes of other cultures and countries, I don't see why you'd expect to be treated differently.
I'm pretty pleased with the nominations, many great films and performances got nods. I haven't seen Extremely Loud so I can't comment on the hate for it.
Also I don't think Drive was a must for the nominations. I was a fine filmm, my favorite of the year actually, but there were much better movies like Tree of Life and A Separation.
Great post dude, very educational. I might do one like this about my country, Venezuela. Which, like Iran is unfairly overlooked with a negative light by ignorant people.
