So the 82nd Academy Awards are scheduled for Sunday and even with the new extended list of nominees for Best Picture, Dan and I are a little behind. (We’ve got a pretty sweet setup in our basement for movie-viewing + we have a moral aversion to spending $25 for 2 hrs. of entertainment = we wait for Netflix to send DVDs to our mailbox.)

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the following movies, nominated for Best Picture:

• Avatar (We saw it in 3-D and enjoyed it; Driscoll says it’s demonic.)

• District 9 (In my opinion, over-hyped, kinda disappointing.)

• An Education

• The Hurt Locker (In our Netflix queue)

• Inglorious Basterds (In our Netflix queue)

• The Blind Side (In our Netflix queue)

• Precious

• A Serious Man

• Up (I cried during this movie. I bet y’all know which part!)

• Up in the Air

Feel free to make a case for your pick for Best Picture, rant about your least favorite of the ten, review all the ones you’ve seen, or share your thoughts on Driscoll’s controversial remarks.
