Best Picture

(well, it might be that people see so many movies
that when they finally see one not
so bad as the others, they think it’s
great. an Academy Award means that you don’t stink
quite as much as your cousin.)

— Charles Bukowski, “in and out of the dark”

There are 10 nominees now for Best Picture?! I had no idea.

The best movie of the year was Up. The other nine I didn’t see. If any of them were better than Up, then why didn’t I see them? Answer that one for me.
