oscar death march

verbicideSo often I decide I don't want to watch a movie. And then the Oscar noms come out and suddenly I want an informed opinion.
I don't think I'm going to be able to (or want to) watch all 56 nominations. But... I've got a good start on the major contenders and have plans to watch a heap more in the next month.
And because I'm a giant nerd, I like to see my data in a variety of ways. First, the movies listed with their nominations. Second, the categories listed with their nominees. I'm bolding the ones in this first list if I've either seen the movie, have it on my DVR, or have very strong plans to see it.
