I've done it!! I've actually watched every single film that's been nominated for Best Picture this year. Guess there really is a first time for everything. Some I managed to watch in the cinema, others have conveniently leaked way ahead of their release date over here. I think 2012 was a massive improvement for film overall compared to 2011, even

I'm really curious to read Les Miserables now.

Aaron Tveit really was good. It's so weird to see all these Gossip Girl actors who had small roles get all these big Hollywood parts, lol.

Life of Pi is sooooo good. I would read the book beforehand, just to prepare for the ~emotions and so on. I really hope it wins but... I know the Academy won't be able to resist the triple combination of Lincoln/DDL/Spielberg -.-

Yiiiiikes, that is a HUGE difference from Russell Crowe! I've heard that Hugh Jackman's voice wasn't quite suited to Valjean either, but damn... at least Hugh can actually sing.

At the beginning of the book I thought that Life of Pi was kinda preachy because there's a lot about religion and so on. But I really like the way the story develops and concludes. It's quite powerful.

I think if War Horse had DDL method acting as the horse itself, it would be a whole different story. lol. idk, the Academy is so old fashioned and predictable.

THE POOR LEO MEME IS THE BEST.

HE CAN'T EVEN GET KATE TO MARRY HIM

But hey, at least he dated Gossip Girl's wife!!!
