Here is the list of the 265 movies that are eligible for the Best Picture Academy Award nomination. I have seen 48 so far and will continue to update it throughout the Oscar season. My color chart means:
Possible Top 10 Candidate (I haven't seen everything yet, so my list is not finalized)
Seen it
Must see ASAP
Will see eventually
Should see, but don't want to
Will never watch and I'm offended that they could be even remotely considered for Best Picture
Some have no coloring which means they are not on my radar for at all. I have nothing against low-budget films or kids movies or even bad movies. I do have a problem with expensive Hollywood crap and unnecessary, agenda-forcing malarkey.
ABDUCTION
