How many of the Oscar-nominated movies have you seen?
And what did you think of them? It's probably unreasonable to think I can see them all before the awards, isn't it? I just watched The Kids Are All Right and oh my gosh, it was good. Totally gets to you. Definitely tissue worthy.
As a reminder, the other ones nominated:
- Black Swan
- The Fighter
- Inception
- The Kids Are All Right
- The King's Speech
- 127 Hours
- The Social Network
- Toy Story 3
- True Grit
- Winter's Bone
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

Re: How many of the Oscar-nominated movies have you seen?
Seriously! We seemed to have stopped watching them once we got married -- and you have kids!

The Fighter was very good but Christian Bale really made the movie for me. He was incredible. We loved Inception. It was so different and fascinating. And who doesn't love Leo?
We're planning on seeing Black Swan or The King's Speech this weekend.
ETA: I forgot that we watched True Grit. Tim loved it, I played online through most of it. Not my favorite.
We saw Four! That's AWESOME for us! And we have two more (The Kids and Winter's Bone) here right now -rented from Netflix. And a friend has said she could get us the hookup on a couple more so by the time the Oscars roll around we may possibly have seen most if not all of them! That's quite a big deal b/c we hardly even get out to the movies anymore. It helps that one was a kid's movie, I think.
We've seen:
Inception (liked a lot)
The Kids Are Alright (Mark Ruffalo=HOT)
Toy Story 3 (Very Cute)
True Grit (Not what I expected, but all right)
I really want to see Black Swan, The Fighter and The King's Speech. We'll see which of these we actually see before the Oscars.
Matt Damon is in it? Aw hell, now we're really going to see it!
Yes-He's LeBeouf and he's freakin funny!
Wow, 5 I can't believe it!
We've seen Black Swan (loved), Inception (enjoyable), The Social Network (enjoyable, interesting), Toy Story 3 (not as good as I had hoped for. Definitely not on par with UP), and True Grit (enjoyable and fun).
We plan on seeing The King's Speech, 127 hours and the Kids are alright, soon.
We just saw Black Swan and have one word: Wow. It was so intense and I loved Natalie Portman. Fantastic movie.
I also forgot that we saw Toy Story 3 this summer with my nephew and while it was awesome and really cute, I don't quite see it as Best Picture material.
Wow, I've only seen Toy Story 3 and The Social Network.
I thought Toy Story 3 was great. I thought The Social Network had good acting but I wasn't impressed with the story. I mean, who wants to see a guy that comes off as a total jerk become a billionaire? Not this girl.
ETA: Ooops, I lied. We saw Inception and I thought it was incredible. Totally blew my mind and I had Inception dreams for a couple of weeks (which was actually really cool, I can see the appeal
)
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
I've seen Black Swan (most disturbing moving EVER), Inception (Good, but DH fell asleep, lol), The Kids are All Right (definitely did NOT live up to the hype), Toy Story 3 (bawled my eyes out) and True Grit (FANTASTIC).
The Social Network is in the queue for this week and I am dying to see The King's Speech and The Fighter.
Don't know if I can handle 127 Hours. Never heard of Winter's Bone (off to read about it).
50% isn't bad for me, especially with 4 weeks to go!
Watch The Fighter though...SO GOOD!!!
I saw Black Swan - Absolutely loved it.
Inception - I loved this one too. Very intriguing.
The Social Network - I liked this one too. It sucks what he did though.
Toy Story 3 - I have seen parts of this one. Cute but not really the type of movie I really enjoy.
I would like to see The Fighter, The Kings Speeck and True Grit though.
Seriously? Why not? I loved it!
