Inspired by Oscar Tuesday ... do you follow awards season? What do you think of today's nominations?

For me, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2 is the only movie I've seen from all the nominees in all categories. I obviously don't get to the movies.
I used to follow awards season--I wanted to be a film critic at one point, heh. But now, without a TV, I don't pay much attention. I still like to see the best/worst dressed list the next day, though.
I just looked at the list of nominees. It looks like they were grasping at straws to come up with anything. I thought this years movies were pretty bad. I've seen a lot of the movies. I walked out of War Horse, it was awful, hokey and bad acting. It felt like the boy was two steps away from having a fling with the horse. Moneyball was slow but I don't feel Brad Pitt deserved an Oscar nod for it. Most of the nominees seem like oh we haven't awarded an oscar to them yet so or in a while so lets nominate them.
I used to watch the academy awards every year but in the past few years it's felt very forced so I just catch up on what they wear the next day.
Do we know who's hosting the Oscars? Usually I PVR it and then fast forward through the boring stuff.
I've seen Hugo (meh, visually stunning but only ok) and Bridesmaids, but that's about it. I plan on watching Moneyball soon (Derek just finished reading the book) and I'd love to watch The Help.
I've heard tell that "they" say that 2011 was a really dismal year for movies.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
I have seen a lot of the movies on the list. The ones I haven't seen are because they don't bring good movies to my town (don't get me started) and they haven't come out on video.
I really liked The Help and Moneyball. If you don't really like baseball then you won't like Moneyball. I thought that the acting in The Help was great. I found it really interesting that they nominated someone from Bridesmaids, but she did make the movie.
I am not sure if I am going to watch the Oscars, I have so much to do.
They're bringing Billy Crystal back - I always liked him so I'm excited.
I've seen The Artist, Moneyball and The Descendants. The Artist was really good, I'm thinking that will win only because it's so different from everything that's been made recently. I really liked Moneyball, and the Descendants was good but extremely depressing - I could see Clooney winning for that, I think he gave a great performance.
Also I'm planning on stalking the red carpet with my telephoto lens, so stay tuned
Now jumping domestically.
Well that was a crazy couple of years.
