"The Town" Got Shafted

I just recently watched the movie "The Town" with Ben Affleck. While it's not the perfect move it is still and excellent one and I am shocked it was not nominated for one of 10 spots for best movie of the year. I have seen four of the ten movies up for best picture this year, and while I know this is less than 50% "The Town" stacks up with the four I have seen. I loved the Fighter and True Grit and it is on Par with both of these movies. Maybe the other six will blow me away and there just was not any room to add The Town onto the list. I have Winter's Bone on my Netflix list and I will be honest I do not have very high hopes it will be better than The Town. Maybe the academy has something against Ben Affleck. I know he has been in some crap movies, cough Armageddon, Gigli. This was not one of them and he directed and wrote it, the movie was an original idea, well written, acted and shot. While the story is a bit far fetched, (and Inceptions not!!) it is still feasible. I do not know maybe I am making something out of nothing, but I just was wondering why this really good movie got only one Oscar nomination. I can see not getting best director or actor, there is some stiff competition, but not up for one of the numerous 10 best picture nomination, that is a little ridiculous.
