Yes, but, by definition, nobody saw them.

I'm later to the game this year than ever before. I've only seen two films so far that I'd consider for Best Picture, and a list of a couple dozen that have made other people's best ofs.  >:(

To spice things up this year and add an element of randomness to the nominations, I'm going to tabulate the ballots drunk.

Actually, I'll start sober, but I'm going to take a shot every time someone nominates a supporting role as a lead role, and vice versa.

My votes are never heavy in this department anyways, but I am farther behind of the end of the year stuff then any other year. I probably won't have seen a single Oscars best picture nominee (unless Gravity is in there). This baby thing makes getting to the theatre a challenge! Martin Scorsese and David O. Russell aren't helping me out with their runtimes either.

A lot of Spring Breakers votes are going to come from me  :)
