MOVIES: Here are your nominees.

The Oscar nominations were released this morning and I don't think there's ever been so many nominations for best picture that I didn't see. Since I haven't seen most of them I can't really complain but I'm kind of surprised Drive didn't get a nomination. I suppose some dialogue is preferred.
