So the Oscar nominees have altered the Movie Mission list, but I'm feeling pretty positive about our Oscar viewing so far.

Performance by an actor in a leading role.
Jeff Bridges in "Crazy Heart"
George Clooney in "Up in the Air"
Colin Firth in "A Single Man"
Morgan Freeman in "Invictus"
Jeremy Renner in "The Hurt Locker"
I'm hoping for a win for Jeremy Renner from 'The Hurt Locker.'

Performance by an actor in a supporting role.
Matt Damon in "Invictus"
Woody Harrelson in "The Messenger"
Christopher Plummer in "The Last Station"
Stanley Tucci in "The Lovely Bones"
Christoph Waltz in "Inglourious Basterds"
At this point, my vote would be for Christoph Waltz.

Performance by an actress in a leading role.
Sandra Bullock in "The Blind Side"
Helen Mirren in "The Last Station"
Carey Mulligan in "An Education"
Gabourey Sidibe in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire"
Meryl Streep in "Julie & Julia"
I was very impressed with Carey Mulligan, but I'm still rooting for Meryl Streep here.

Performance by an actress in a supporting role.
Penélope Cruz in "Nine"
Vera Farmiga in "Up in the Air"
Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Crazy Heart"
Anna Kendrick in "Up in the Air"
Mo'Nique in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire"
I can't believe Penelope Cruz is nominated here (I know you're with me Erica).

Best motion picture of the year.
"Avatar"
"The Blind Side"
"District 9"
"An Education"
"The Hurt Locker"
"Inglourious Basterds"
"Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire"
"A Serious Man"
"Up"
"Up in the Air"
I really think "The Young Victoria" could have fit in here. It was surprisingly good.

So now, the list of movies I still need to see is as follows:
"Avatar" 20th Century Fox (9 nominations)
"Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" (6 nominations)
"Crazy Heart" (3 nominations)
"The Blind Side" (2 nominations)
"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" (2 nominations)
"Invictus" (2 nominations)
"The Last Station" (2 nominations)
"The Messenger" (2 nominations)
"A Serious Man" (2 nominations)
"A Single Man" (1 nomination)
"In the Loop" (1 nomination)
"The White Ribbon" (2 nominations)
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" (1 nomination) - good lord!
"The Lovely Bones" (1 nomination)
"The Secret of Kells" (1 nomination) - what is this movie?
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (1 nomination)
"Bright Star" (1 nomination)
"Coco Before Chanel" (1 nomination)
"Il Divo" (1 nomination) - seriously?
"Paris 36" (1 nomination) - never going to happen.

What's your opinion of the nominees? Who do you think will win? Who do you want to win? Are there any movies you want to see now that the nominations are out?
