1. Watch every Academy Award best picture nominee from 2010 to 2015

The 2015 nominees are out! Luckily, there are only 8 this year. So I might be able to get through them before September, with any luck. I haven't seen ANY of them yet:
  • American Sniper

  • Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)

  • Boyhood

  • The Grand Budapest Hotel

  • The Imitation Game

  • Selma

  • The Theory of Everything

  • Wiplash
They've all been added to my DVD queue, though only two are currently available/out on DVD right now. I really, really want to see The Imitation Game, as Turing is one of my favorite historical figures.

I'm not shocked at all. I saw the Oscar list for all categories and haven't seen a single movie listed in any of the major categories. To be honest, I think this was a bad year for movies. Nothing 'big' hit other than commercially popular movies like Lego and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Let me know if any of them are worth watching.

Popular movies rarely get big nominations at the Oscars, so I wasn't surprised either. I'm really looking forward to The Imitation Game, Selma, The Theory of Everything, and Birdman. American Sniper looks like lots of angst, and I adore angst, so I'll probably like that. And I like the look of the Grand Budapest Hotel. I know NOTHING about Boyhood or Wiplash.

I'll definitely be posting when I watch them. Here's hoping they're good!
