Okay so here's a direct link to the list of nominees....I have alot of movie watching to do before I can decide who I think will win. This is unusual for me since usually by the time the release the nominees I have seen about 90% of the movies already. I'm not keeping up on my movie watching.....maybe it has something to do with an excess of school work to do.....hmmmm. ;)
