My wife and I usually see most award nominated films, during the year. We mostly avoid being influenced by the political hype, such as what I see on FR.
I saw Capote and felt the acto gave an award quality performance.
Saw Munich. It is over rated. Sure, Spielberg makes good movies. Sure, he portrays a neutral position. Not worth all the hype.
Saw Walk the Line, liked it. Same for North Country, Match Point, Constant Gardener.
Having said all that, I don't plan to see Bareback Mountain.
Not one of those movies got me off my butt and into the theater this year. Sad to say. Last movie I really liked was The Aviator.
