Oh, right, the other movie awards. It’s been a good year for Oscar bait. We had Serious Historical Movies (Lincoln), Shocking Stories Ripped From The Headlines (Zero Dark Thirty), Over-The-Top Musicals (Les Miserables), and whatever the hell Beasts Of The Southern Wild was. This year’s Oscar nominees don’t have a ton of surprises, but check out the Best Picture field – nine movies. Is that weird to anybody else? It seems like a lot of movies.
