The Academy doubled the number of slots for Best Picture nominees (to ten!) but it hasn't really helped my Oscar scoresheet. Just like past years, I'll go over the nominees and admit exactly how many movies I haven't seen this year.
Category # seen Best Picture 0 Best Actor 0 Best Actress 0 Best Director 0 Best Screenplay 0 Best Adapted Screenplay 0 Goose eggs, across the board. In fact, the only nominated movies I saw this year were Coraline (Best Animated Feature Film), Sherlock Holmes (Art Direction and Score), and Star Trek (four nominations, all FX-related). But like usual, there are a whole bunch of movies that are high on my list: Up, Inglorious Basterds, District 9, and The Blind Side (Best Picture? Wow. I loved the book, so I need to see it.)
If I see all of those before March 7, I'll finish with 8 points, which would tie with my final score last year.
