I caught up today and only have captain Phillips yet to watch.
Nebraska, Philomena & 12 Years A Slave drained me emotionally. Matthew Mc & Christian Bale were awesome in their roles. Best thing about Gravity was a scantily clad Sandra Bullock. Her doesn't belong in any category... It was way too creepy for my tastes. All in all some killer movies and extraordinary performances(Dench, Dern, Forte, star of 12 years, Amy Adams, DiCaprio)...
I am not an Oscars watcher but this is a strong year for movies.
