Oscar Nominees

http://oscar.go.com/nominees

Trailers for all the nominees at this site. Looks like the documentaries will be a tough call.

You can download a ballot. Great fun to speculate if you haven't seen any of the movies. (The only ones I've seen are Harry Potter and The Help.)

Yeah, yeah I know this isn't Netfix, but they will be on Netflix soon. In fact many are already on disc through Netflix.

Anybody know where on the web a person who is TV challenged can watch the spectacle?

Oscar worthy. 'Hugo' had brilliant visuals (3D) but the story was weak. Hubby saw 'Moneyball' and said ugh, and 'The Descendants' which he said was ok. Don't know about the others.

And this was from a friend who usually doesn't like Hollyweird movies.

I think it's going to be a tough race between Glenn Close and Meryl Streep.
