Oscar the Grouch

I need to watch a lot of movies. A LOT of movies.

Oscar nominations are out officially. I've got about 33 days to consume some 14 films. I feel like I'm cramming for a test.

Italicized entries are movies I have yet to see. Bold is who I think should win (note: This will change as i hopefully see the rest of the movies on the list).

Into The Wild

Away From Her

La Vie en Rose

The Savages

The Diving Bell & the Butterfly

Shit. 14 films. Sweeney Todd and No Country open tomorrow here. Gone Baby Gone, Atonement, and Into the Wild are already playing. Unfortunately, The Diving Bell & the Butterfly will only be shown in French, so I'm out of luck there.

I'd better get to work.
