I like to think I see a number of movies each year - but I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't seen any of the films nominated for Best Picture.
I am planning on seeing "The Queen" though.
After the Oscars most of the movies(winners) come back to first run. By in large I think all movies are better on big screen. I have BIG TVs & quality sound systems. But it is NOT the same. I love our Cinemark Stadium Seating theaters here in NE Ohio
This year's nominees make last year's seem exciting, and only 5 people in the world saw anything that was up last year.
You're not alone. I haven't seen any of the movies up for award either. I watched Helen Mirran in Elizabeth I, and will watch The Queen when it comes out on DVD. I enjoy her work.
It's very good--you won't be disappointed.
