THEY WUZ ROBBED: If Dreamgirls was looking for any sympathy for its Best Picture snubbing from regular moviegoers, it was sulking on the wrong street corner.

The Internet Movie Database (http://imdb.com) asked web surfers the musical question, "Which film was robbed the most by this year's Oscar nominations?"

In an IMDb poll, 23 per cent of respondents are convinced Children of Men was robbed for not getting a Best Picture nomination compared to less than 7 per cent for Dreamgirls.

The answers from 16,954 respondents indicated the majority of people are far from heartbroken over the Dreamgirls debacle. The film's Best Picture beating ranks a distant fifth on the list of things people are peeved about.

Here's the 13 occupants of Oscar's boneyard of broken dreams, ranked in order of significance (percentage of respondents follows in brackets):
