  1. Have not yet seen all of your top picks, but I think 'Lincoln' is going to walk away with best picture. Although -- it could be Quentin Tarantino's year best director.

  2. This year was the first year where I've actually seen not one, not two, but THREE of the best movie nominations: Argo (LOVED -- can't believe Affleck's snub), Les Miz (KILL ME), and Zero Dark Thirty (again, cannot believe Bigelow's snub). Wish I was able to see more of the noms but being that I rarely ever even see ONE of the noms before award season, this year was a step up. LOL

  3. I'm among the few who thought Lincoln was about as interesting as watching C-SPAN. I would give it the "Ambien Award." As for "Silver Linings Playbook," I can't understand that being called a comedy. It was good, but can't say I found it funny. Best male performance for me, Hugh Jackman, hands down. Meanwhile, my favorite movie, "Hyde Park on the Hudson" got zip!
