I added in a couple of last-minute guesses. I realized I saw the Animated Short Film, “Paperman.” It […]
I fell eight short of watching all of the nominated movies I intended to watch. Too little time, lag in OnDemand availability, and disinterest all played a part. Disinterest in watching any movie at all, aka burn-out, and disinterest in seeing a particular film.
I do poorly with violence in films, especially torturous kinds, so “Zero Dark Thirty” is on my nix list. “Argo,” “Flight,” and “Hitchcock,” came late to the OnDemand screen, so I must save them for post-Academy viewing. Also left unseen are “Amour,” “Chasing Ice,” and “The Master.” “Argo,” looked like a loads of fun; next up in the viewing queue. I could pick this film as a winner, based on the trailer alone. But, I won’t. That seems like cheating. Do you think the members of the Academy saw every single picture? Or do you think it’s more like in high school, just vote for their friends or because they want to be in the cool crowd and that’s who the cool people are voting for?
Enough mental meandering. Here are my picks.
