I have a three-day weekend this week, so I’m headed over the the movie store this morning to grab as many Oscar nominees as I can to cram for Sunday’s Oscars. I always enjoy Oscar evening, it’s probably as exciting to me as the Superbowl is to most everyone else. When I worked for a couple former employers, I used to organize an Oscar pool. Whoever picked the most Oscar winners would win the pot. This year I made up a little spreadsheet of the Best Picture nominees to take with me to the movie store, so I thought I’d share it here. It shows the number of Oscar nominations and the current IMDB rating each movie currently has. It’s sorted by IMDB rating. I know only a few of them are out on DVD already, so those will be the ones I’ll probably rent.
| Title | IMDB Rating | Oscar Nominations |
| The Artist | 8.4 | 10 |
| Hugo | 8.1 | 11 |
| The Help | 8.0 | 4 |
| Midnight in Paris | 7.8 | 4 |
| The Descendants | 7.7 | 5 |
| Moneyball | 7.7 | 6 |
| War Horse | 7.2 | 6 |
| Tree of Life | 7.1 | 3 |
| Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close | 6.5 | 2 |
I sure wish Hugo was on DVD! 11 nominations–wow! As it turned out, I picked up Moneyball, The Ides of March, The Help, and Puss In Boots. Gotta go watch some movies now…
