I try to watch a couple of best picture nominees once they're announced. This year they're:

Finding Neverland
The Aviator
Sideways
Ray
Million Dollar Baby

I saw Sideways this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's both moving and hilarious, in a less sappier way than James L. Brooks' movies (As Good as it Gets, Terms of Endearment, Jerry Maguire). The scene where Paul Giamatti's and Virginia Madsen's characters talk about their favorite wines sneaks up on you and makes you realize you're watching something special. I'm planning on watching Million Dollar Baby this or next weekend.

Have any of you guys and gals seen any nominees, best picture or whatnot?
