listersgirlThis is the first year that I can remember where I have actually been interested in the majority of the Oscar frontrunners. I know, eh? I mean, not all of them, obviously, but still.
The actual nominations haven't been announced yet (I guess soon, right?), but EW had a list of 25 movies to watch before Oscar night*, so I've started working my way through them. I'd seen two already (Brokeback Mountain and The 40 Year-Old Virgin), and there are a few I have no interest in seeing (Cinderella Man, King Kong and Narnia), but that still leaves 20.
I saw Mrs. Henderson Presents while I was in Halifax (very fun and fluffy, and Judi Dench is wonderful, as I'm sure you can imagine), and I watched Crash last night, which was an exhausting, painful, powerful experience. I'm hoping that Junebug is coming next from Zip, but we'll see. The rest, well, a few of them are or will be out on DVD before Oscar night, and I might try to see a few of the others in the theatres, especially if I can catch them atcheap rep theatres. Especially I'd like to see Capote, Munich, Syriana, A History of Violence, Transamerica, Match Pointand The Squid and the Whale.
And I'll probably re-organize my list once the actual nominations come out.
*I don't really know how they picked these movies. Some of them I can't imagine are going to be winning anything. But I do love a good list.
