Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

I just need Warrior and My Week with Marilyn to finish off the acting nominees.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
A Better Life
Albert Nobbs
Warrior
Margin Call
A Separation
Anonymous
Jane Eyre
W.E.
A Cat in Paris
Chico and Rita
Puss in Boots
Rango

I should note that I don't count Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film because they never come out here in time.

I'm only going to do the major 8 categories.

A Separation
Albert Nobbs
Margin Call

I was surprised to see that four theaters here in Milwaukee are playing Albert Nobbs including the one at the mall. I opted for A Dangerous Method instead but eventually I'll see Nobbs. I was really disappointed to find out that one of my local arthouse theaters opted to hang on to The Descendents for another week, despite having a poster for Shame saying coming today.

Actually, this was a really entertaining movie. I was surprised at the nomination, but when I first saw it I did think it could get a tech nod or two.

I haven't seen a ton of nominees. Mostly due to sucky release dates. I'm not including the shorts categories.

You're still in DC, right? Where is this even playing?

I would assume when it comes to DC it will play at E Street.

This weekend I will probably go see PARIAH. It got good reviews and a shout-out from Meryl Streep, plus I like giving my money to well made queer cinema. Many of the Oscar films I will eventually see, but I refuse to pay for them.

I have seen a few TV ads for Albert Nobbs.

It's only finally arriving in NY Friday. The distributor apparently decided without an Oscar prod no one would ever go to see it. I don't know how wide a release it'll ever get.
