In 2006, I hardly did any better than the year before. I’ve hardly seen any of the Oscar-nominated movies.

The Departed, The Queen, and Children of Men are all still very high on my “to-see” list. Those three alone would push my combined total up to 9. The AP contrasts this year’s Best Picture nominee field with last years — they claim that there’s no immediate widely-accepted favorite. (Of course, last year’s favorite didn’t win..)
Update 26 Feb: For the first time since 2003, I saw the winner of the Oscar for Best Picture (The Departed) in a first-run theater before the night of the awards. That was the only additional top-award nominee I saw, but it brought my total up to six. The only other award winner I’ve seen is An Inconvenient Truth, which I coincidentally saw just this weekend.

I’m at 13 (from those categories)
I just saw the departed and Little Miss Sunshine. I really have no desire to see Borat. I do have children of men, Babel and Pan’s labyrinth very high on the list of to be seens
We saw “Pan’s Labrinth” this past weekend and I highly recommend it. I’m glad to see it’s screenplay got nominated. It’s a very good movie.
My total is: 3
I would like to see “Children of Men” next.
