I've actually seen three of the movies nominated for best picture this year....probably my highest total in over 15 years.......Midnight In Paris, The Artist, and Moneyball.

There's no way Moneyball should be a best of the year...it was only pretty good. I loved Midnight In Paris, but I don't know if they'll give Woody any more awards. It would be my vote for the best of the year. The Artist was great too.....why wasn't the dog nominated for supporting actor (or actress......not sure what it is)

I wouldnt know if any of the other 6 were big money-making blockbusters who would be favored to win.

Wow, I haven't seen any of the movies at all, even ones nominated just for actors, except Dragon Tattoo.

I've seen all the Best Picture nominees. I'm rooting for Midnight in Paris, although the only one I didn't like at all was Extremely Loud. The Descendants is overrated, it's really an overachieving Hallmark movie. Tough to predict the winner.

I've never even heard of two of the Animated Feature nominees, if they even opened in the US I missed it. The other 3 were all very good, I think Rango will win. Tintin got snubbed.

No noms for J. Edgar, that's a surprise.

The Academy only deemed two songs worthy of nomination. Remember in the 70s and 80s, when the nominated songs were actually hit singles? Gotta go to "Man or Muppet" this year.

I've only seen Midnight In Paris, but I loved it.

Melissa McCarthy. Wow. I like that.

A shame that there's no category for Andy Serkis.

Link to full list anyplace? Google keeps going to partial lists.

I'm glad it's not just me. (Except I have not seen Dragon Tattoo either.)

Clean sweep for me!

I've only seen Kung Fu Panda 2 which was awesome. That's it.
I only want to see maybe 3 or 4 of the nominated films. I truly despise the Oscars and hate the show. I won't watch it again and I won't care again.

Didn't think Moneyball was good enough to be considered. Hugo gets the most noms but hardly anybody saw it. It all looks pretty even to me, no clear winner.

Another off year and another potential snoozefest at the Oscars.
If War Horse wins does Joey show up? You know the dog will show up if The Artist wins.

No Albert Brooks. Which makes me wonder about Jonah Hill being in there.

Hugo is definitely worth seeing. It's spellbinding. And I saw it in 2D, so 3D is definitely not necessary.

I wasnt very impresssed by Jonah Hills performance, it was ok but Oscar worthy? Come on.

Albert Brooks performance was definetly better.

The Oscars are the suckiest thing that ever came to sucktown.

Andy Serkis was nominated for Supporting Actor for Rise of the Planet of the Apes at the Critic's Choice Awards a couple weeks ago. His performance was worthy of an Oscar nom.

Now I will have to see Hugo. Hopefully it gets put back in theaters around here.
