Yikes. I've seen even less of the nominated films this year than last year. Shit, I've seen Little Miss Sunshine, Pan's Labyrinth, Pirates, Poseiden, Click, and Superman Returns and half of those are just for technical awards. I really want to see Last King of Scotland, Blood Diamond, and The Departed. Guess it's time to play catch up.
