I think that A Separation, Shame, The Skin I Live In should've made it onto the prestige shortlists (got some writeons from people who've seen a lot of them) and maybe Insidious and Lincoln Lawyer should've made it onto the popcorn shortlists.
Also I blame Linsanity on that lost week and a half.
That said, voting soon. Gimme a minute.

Here's how the voting will go...either PM me or post in here a Top 3 or up to 3.
If you only feel a sort of way towards 1 or 2 films, only vote for 1 or 2.
Prestige Film Nominees

Margin Call
Martha Marcy May Marlene
Moneyball
Take Shelter
Popcorn Film Nominees
13 Assassins
Attack The Block

I'm not sure what to do about Crazy Stupid Love, the most polarizing film in the category. People either really really loved it, or damn near hated it and it just barely missed the cut...
edit: damn, left 13 off the list

wrote a review for all 4...then yuku ate it.
Really really liked Hugo. Terrible title, great film. Not nearly as kiddie as I expected.
More like a brighter Sweeney Todd without the singing or blood. Ben Kingsley did work.

I think everyone would have really liked Hugo if they gave it a chance. It's a shame more people didn't see it in theaters, the 3D was fantastic. Beautiful film.
As far as yuku feasting on your posts, I always make sure I copy something before I go ahead and post it. Been yuku'd far too many times to do that anymore.

I don't have much stake in the actual awards, and there obviously isn't a ton of entertainment value, but this is still so much more interesting to me than a music awards show. I guess because I want to be a part of that world someday.

I've got the All-Star game on my living room big screen, brought out my bedroom LCD for the Oscars, I have my laptop, plus Twitter on my phone.
I think my head is about to explode.
And I agree, I always watch the Oscars despite the obvious flaws... it's still interesting to me.

Got them all except for Viola Davis.
I'm pretty shocked she didn't win.

Just got back home to catch the end of the awards.
Only big disappointment was Tree of Life not winning for cinematography.
If Midnight in Paris couldn't win best picture, I'm glad The Artist did. With that said, I am very pleased that Allen got the best screenplay nod.
Even though he was a shoe-in, congrats to Christopher Plummer. His performance in Beginners was great and could have rivaled the leading actor nominees. On that note, Beginners not even getting a best picture nod was unfortunate.
A Separation was a no brainer as the best foreign film. I felt the film was more of a character study than anything else, but it was an excellent picture.
As for the leading actor/actress, I was hoping Dujardin would win and was surprised that he was able to beat out Clooney. I'm not a Clooney fan by any stretch of the imagination, but he put in solid work in Payne's, The Descendants.
Can't speak too much about the actresses because I had only seen TGWTDT and My Week with Marilyn.
Lastly, Hazanavicius has to be luckiest man in Hollywood right now. Won the Oscar for directing the best film and he gets to go home to Bérénice Bejo. Bastard.
