Academy award nominations are out! I’ve only seen one of the nominated best pictures (Train Dreams), but I’m familiar with all of them. Any surprises for you? Snubs? What have you seen?
We were planning to watch The Secret Agent this evening, but knowing we’ll see it in March when we watch all of them at once, we’ll defer it now.
