Oscar Nominations

I'm a bit late with this, but I have decided that since I am now a city-dweller with a Cineworld card and a bulletproof excuse to go to the cinema at any and all times (it's practically homework!) I ought to make this the year I see all of films nominated, or at least all the one in the big categories. Tricky, since quite a few are now in the realm of DVD release, but still I'll give it a shot, and to make it relevant I'll post about them here.

Here are the actual nominations if you haven't seen them yet.

And here's what I'll need to see (ones still to be seen in bold, still to be written about in italics):
