Same. Haven't seen all the nominees from last year either, though I think they got that one right. Really glad The Help didn't win.

You didn't see Lincoln? Man you really do hate Illinois.
Haven't seen any of them. Also, I don't give a flying fuck about a bunch of elitist limousine liberals gladhanding each other.

Yikes, been a while since I thought of that one.
Megaforce.
The Beastmaster
Knightriders. Yeah, the Ed Harris one.

I heard things about that movie that gave me pause. I'd still like to see it, but wasn't sure I wanted to pay theater prices for it.
I've only seen Lincoln, so I cannot fairly vote.
I ended up voting Les Mis just because I wanted to see what everyone else was voting. I like the music, so I figure I'd have liked the movie.
I wouldn't vote for any of these. Also, Meri, you can just click view results.
Ice Pirates was awesome. Solarbabies is unwatchable even as far as bad movies go.
Yor, the hunter from the future.
Warlords of the 21st Century

I thought that one chick who was also in The Lost Boys was hot in Solarbabies.
Why am i not shocked you liked the J.A.P.
Beasts of the southern wild. Art.
Haven't watched any of them. Where's Hobbit or Cloud Atlas?
Only watched Django Unchained.
Life of Pi received quite unflattering reviews over here (mostly along the lines, "Goes to prove that the books can't be turned intoa movie.").
Looks like Argo is really a heavy favorite now that it's swept the Guild awards.
I've seen Argo, Les Mis, Django, Lincoln, and Zero Dark Thirty. Of those, I would probably vote for Zero Dark Thirty.
To be honest I don't care anymore. I watched Lincoln and Django and liked both. Movies all spend the first half hour trying to get me to like the protagonist and I'm a misanthrope and am incapable of liking anybody that doesn't have a set of 38DDs within 30 minutes.
Man, fuck Les Mis. It's a shitty fucking musical. The Liam Neeson film version is great. The Depardieu version is great. This whole musical schtick is fucking trying.

It's great for a musical. However, if you want to replace the general term musical with "shitty fucking musical", I have no objections.
