The first film on the list of 265 films that have qualified for the 2011 Academy Awards, the Taylor Lautner action flick "Abduction" (below), has virtually no chance of getting an Oscar nomination.
The last movie on the list, "Zookeeper," is in pretty much the same boat.
And in between those bookends, you'll find far more pretenders than contenders, by a margin of two-or-three-to-one.
The 265 eligible films sit in between the 248 that qualified last year, and the 274 in the running two years ago.
For the record, here's the Academy's list of everything in the running. An expanded list, with the full cast of each eligible film, is available on the Academy website.
