Other notables include documentary nominee Detropia<\/i> and Frankenweenie<\/i>, Tim Burton’s return to animation. But don’t forget other new notable titles, including Ken Burns’s The Dust Bowl<\/i>, Best Picture winner The Sting<\/i>, a collection of Shakespeare performances, and the third season of Downton Abbey<\/i> (watch it before it finishes airing on PBS!).<\/p>\n
