General Discussion

My heart was with Midnight in Paris. Such a delightful little movie. Now that I think of it the last few years the winner has been predictable and everybody is sure who's gonna win and every other nomination is kind of just honorable mentions. Am I just crazy or do I have a point.

I haven't seen The Artist, but out of the nominations that I have seen, I liked Midnight in Paris the most. It left me with a really good feeling and the cinematography was brilliant that really showed off the beautiful city that is Paris.

Hugo, without a doubt. Aside from the core (great) film, the 3D was genuinely fantastic and actually added to the experience.

Melancholia up there? No? Well, I suppose Tree of Life, then. I would also accept Hugo as a rational choice.

I really, really, really enjoyed Moneyball, Hugo, and Midnight in Paris. Any of those would've been fine in my book. The only other movie on that list I liked was the Artist, which, while pleasant and unique, just wasn't as good as the praise it's been getting, aside from that which was toward Jean Dujardin.

If I had to choose one, it'd probably be Midnight in Paris, mainly because it got me to finally cast aside my long-time hatred of the French. Well, at least Parisians.

Well i haven't gotten around to most of those but from the ones I saw Moneyball was a great film to watch and I would have been a good pick

these are only the movies that were nominated for Oscars.

@VioletEyedDragon: I know. I'm still carrying a torch. Stupid Oscars.

Moneyball or Hugo. I really, really enjoyed Hugo. Way more than I thought I would.

Did anyone see all 9 movies? I only made it to 6 myself.

i saw all nine, but i dont really have a life ;)

Either Midnight in Paris or Tree of Life. I have no intention of ever watching The Help as I care little about its subject matter or the awful-looking Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
