Oscars Update

The 85th Academy Awards is this Sunday, so I thought it appropriate to post an updated progress status on my nominee list. I've powered through the animated shorts (they are all YouTube), and I'm awaiting tomorrow so I can buy the rest on iTunes. I think I'm making great progress, even though I know I won't be able to watch them all before the award show (that wasn't the point anyways). I'm really enjoying watching movies that are out of comfort zone as well. I'm just not sure which movie to watch next. Anyways, here's the list:
