| Oscar Challenge! |

My Oscar Movie Challenge:
oo1. My original goal: Watch all the films nominated in the "Big 5"
categories (the four acting categories and Best Picture),
plus those nominatedfor Best Director and Cinematography.
oo2. I'm amending my goal by adding the films nominated
in the two writing categories because, by default, I'll see all
five films nominated for Adapted Screenplay and three from
Original Screenplay.
oo3. I must, of course, watch them all before the Oscars,
Feb. 24. I failed miserably (I watched 10/21), but I'm
continuing with my quest despite missing the deadline.
I'm bolding each film as I see it.
