Admit it, how many have seen all 65 Oscar nominees?

I loved Gravity (3D ONLY!) and American Hustle, but I haven't seen "Philomena Phillips and Her Twelve Years on Wall Street Dancing With Wolves In The Nebraska Buyers Club." But, uh...Amy Adams' cleavage...

5. Oscar Nominated movie I have watched

Philomena, 12 years a Slave, Her, American Hustle, Nebraska, August - Osage County, Wolf of Walk Street, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity I have watched.

My take on these movies:

Philomena - It was a great movie!
12 years a Slave - Incredible and worth the nomination and if it wins, it deserves it.
Her - Disturbingly interesting
American Hustle - Good but not so sure it deserves Oscar buzz
Nebraska - Funnier than I expected. A cute movie overall.
August - Osage County - OK - I have seen Meryl in better
Wolf of Wall Street - Funny and good, completely crazy movie. Leo should not get an Oscar for this, but he is a great actor and eventually should get something.
Dallas Buyers Club - Fantastic! Great job to Matt and Jared. Both deserve the Oscars. It is a movie that could have been anything really. It could have been a cancer story, AIDS, Parkinson, anything. It was that great!!!!
Gravity - I might be the only one in America who hated this boring boring boring movie even though I love Sandra....I hope it wins nothing at the Oscars.

I did not see Captain Phillips or Cate Blanchett's movie, but will this weekend before the Oscars are on.


The biggest snub of the year to me was Saving Mr. Banks....I did not want to see this movie, but got the theater late (no surprise there) and that was the only movie available! I am soooo glad because it was incredibly great. I loved every moment of this movie.

A lot of people say Oprah Winfrey got the snub in The Butler. I did not love the movie, but I didn't hate it. It was a good average film. Oprah can do better and will do better.

Blue Jasmie and Philomena were superb.

Captain Phillips was OK

Gravity was just a lot of special effects.

But I loved A.H. and Wolf.

I think the 12 years one is going to take home a great deal just because of subject matter but for the drugged out at the country club scene alone? Big D better win that Best Actor award!

I still like some foreign films but there is something about plot development that the older (70's and earlier) movies had that contemporary movies lack...

For example, I just saw The Night of the Generals - Omar Sharif, Peter O'Toole and Donald Pleasance - intrigue, suspense, a dab of history....very entertaining and highly recommended....

I probably won't see any of these nominees.

but have seen the rest of the Best Picture nominees.

First time in quite a few years that we've seen so many. Lots of excellent films this year.
