I’ve seen 6 of the 9 best picture nominees (first year of retirement and I’m recovering from an injury. LOTS of free time) and so far “12 years a Slave” is hands down the best picture, best actor, best director. As far as the genera goes, it is easily as good as “The Color Purple” and much better than the long winded “Roots”.

As far as Best Actress, Sandra Bullock for “Gravity” IMO.

My mother and aunt also so it and said it was an excellent movie and must see. I’m usually pretty good at keeping up with movies, but haven’t seen any hardly.

What did you think of the others? I’ve heard Secret Life of Walter Mitty was terrible? Was Gravity any good?

Doesn't matter to me. I'm not going to put cash into a Leftist's pocket.
