SUMMARY: Which Oscar-nominated films have I managed to see so far?
I'll get back to the hummer babies (2 of them, so far so good), but for now, there's this. I don't watch the Oscar show, but I do look for movies that are presumably of high quality in one area or another. Hence, I do try to catch the nominees, when they come out, that I haven't already seen.
How's your Oscar-nominated-movie watching doing this year?
** = Those I have NOT seen as of Feb 28 ‘16
