I can not even find out where it is opening anywhere, except for last October at the NYFF

Glad for Django & Lincoln!

As far as music goes the other people nominated might as well stay home Adele is always sweeping every music award she's nominated for.

These are the nominated films I've seen:

Django- will prolly see this again for DiCaprio and Jackson

Argo- good but don't get the nomination

Brave- cute cartoon-meh

Flight-john goodman was more entertaining in this one but it's essentially the same character as in ARGO

Life of Pi- better than i expected but i htink people just like ANG LEE

Lincoln - saw this one twice

Marvel's The Avengers- it is what it is

Moonrise Kingdom- i couldn't sit thru it and left.. i usually love anderson but i just wasn't feelin this one.

most of the noms won't be inmy area until end of month or so..:/

Moonrise Kingdom is the one nominated movie I'd give a perfect 5/5 rating.

The noms are making me want to see Silver Linings Playbook. I never heard of it.

It's a clever romantic comedy. I liked it. 4/5

It might not open in your city until after the Oscars. And then only for a week. So catch it while you can!

Naomi Watts has a high chance of winning this time round.......

Im disapointed that the young actor in Life of Pi wasnt in the running..............He was/is brilliant.

Ang Lee should win for best director..He is amazing...

Life of Pi is a bloody amazing film...very long but I felt like i was in the theatre for only1/2 hour...It was engrossing and philisophical................go see it..................very cleverly done...

I saw it and didn't like it. I expected more visually certainly.

Never read the book. I didn't appreciate the ending.

What I've seen thus far that was nominated.

Caught Argo this morning and loved it.

Saw Zero Dark Thirty last night and I'm not a fan. Just not my kinda movie. I really am not a fan of Kathryn Bigelow. I just don't appreciate her movies.

Well made, sure, but I would not have nominated it.

Best Actress is to hard to tell at this moment

Best supporting actor Robert De Niro

I bet you'd like Near Dark. It's one of my favorite vampire movies.

I have not seen any of these movies! Okay, I did see the Hobbit, which is up for visual effects

God, there was a time when I would have seen them all.

Saw 'Argo.' 4/5 Good. Not going to be in my collection though.

I think 'Charlie Wilson's War' is a much better movie.

Since YOU say so I may have to give it a try.

I saw the trailer for the Impossible and it made me cry so hard I don't know if I could watch the whole film. Naomi was incredible in the little I saw My vote is with her too

i actually just finished it.

i really recommend it. it will make you cry and it is INTENSE, but its brilliant. te kid playing the oldest son really deserved a nomination as well.

lazycrockett said:

i agree with you and wavesofbliss.

i am a huge wes anderson fan and have seen most of them in the theater, including this one. it was okay, but i struggled to stay interested. it was my least fave wes movie by a healthy gap of difference from the next one up.

but then a lot of people loved it... but they also seem to not like wes otherwise.

[Edited 1/18/13 22:50pm]

so far, i think my three biggest faves overall have been:

argo

django unchained (which i have already watched twice)

zero dark thirty

I do really want to see it, so I will, when I can watch it at home, by myself, in private, so nobody can see my snot bubbles

i guarantee; you will cry repeatedly during different parts. some are happy cry, some sad, some just out of shock.

i am actually a little shocked it wasnt nominated for best pic. even more since only 9 pictures got enough nominations to fill the 10 available spots.

Nothinbutjoy said:Ahhhhh Oscar season!

Let's see....I've seen "The Avengers" and "Snow White and the Huntsman"

Rather pathetic on my part.

I've only seen 'The Avengers'. That's the only type of movie I'd go see in a theater. The rest, meh, I'll wait for them on cable.

i watched silver linings playbook last night.

only a few more to go and i have seen all of them.

i have to say; i am struggling to stay interested in "lincoln".

i love political movies. "all the presidents men" is one of my faves, as are "fair game", "game change", "the contender", any of the 3 oliver stone presidential movies, and many many others. i even watched the recent mini-series "political animals", which i dont think many other people did.

but this movie is just not doing it for me.

it's good, but... its kind of over-long and kind of boring. wonderful performances through and through by a multitude of brilliant actors, incredible cinematograpy and camera work, and stunning visuals, but...

not one of my favorite movies of the year.
