Best Picture

[bcholmes]

I don't see that many movies in the theatres anymore, so I've only just recently managed to see the last of the ten films nominated for an academy award (the last one was a film I wasn't terribly interested in seeing: The Blind Side).

For me, the top three are probably Up in the Air, Up, and An Education. And I think that An Education is probably the best of the bunch. While I'm glad, in some ways, that Kathryn Bigelow won Best Director, I can't say that I was terribly thrilled with Hurt Locker. (And let's just not talk about Avatar.)

I liked The Blind Side (book and movie) more than many of my friends, though I am aware of the "what these people need is a honky" content. And I loved Up. Haven't seen most of the others; won't see Avatar.
