In honour of the Oscars I have decided to declare February Movie Month. Since, I live in movie town I figure it’s my civic duty to try and see the films nominated for Hollywood’s most prestigious awards. Usually, I watch the Academy Awards then rent the films once they are on DVD. Well not this year my friends. It will be my goal to see all the main contenders before the main event!

And the nominees are:

Best Picture	Best Animated Feature
The Aviator Finding Neverland Million Dollar Baby Ray Sideways	The Incredibles Shark Tale Shrek 2
Best Actor	Best Actress
Don Cheadle in Hotel Rwanda Johnny Depp in Finding Neverland Leonardo DiCaprio in The Aviator Clint Eastwood in Million Dollar Baby Jamie Foxx in "Ray	Annette Bening in Being Julia Catalina Sandino Moreno in Maria Full of Grace Imelda Staunton in Vera Drake Hilary Swank Million Dollar Baby Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
