I agree

I don't wish to be mean but seriously, what's all the fuss about?? This appears to be just another pseudo-intellectual fare (I didn't quite see the point of Virgin Suicides either!) ...and, as some other reviewers pointed out - had it not been for her lineage her films would have never come this far (sadly!).
That's not saying Sofia lacks the talent or does not have what it takes to make masterpieces like her daddy. But this is no masterpiece! The film does have it's moments but does not really go anywhere and at times appears completely lost (no pun intended)!
Someone from the NY Times suggested that it's about time Bill Murray got his Oscar recognition for this one coz comedy was a serious affair. And I agree with that statement, albeit partially. If Murray had to receive his Oscar nod for this one then that would be really unfair.
And as far as Coppola's nomination goes - I hope they are not serious in considering her a strong contender. And I hope that for her sake and ours ;)
