Of the best picture nominees the only two that I had seen were Frost/Nixon and Benjamin Button. In my opinion, Benjamin Button didn't even deserve to be in the conversation. I was extremely unimpressed. The coolest thing about it to me was the concept, and that was Fitzgerald's.
Frost/Nixon on the other hand was outstanding, and perhaps its parallels to our previous president are what made it so relevant today. Regardless the film was very well made, save a few minor arguments I stated in past blogs.
Anyway, I found a way to get a hold of the three nominees I have not yet seen, and I was just looking for some opinions on them.
Slumdog Millionare(All I have heard are good things, and it won Best Picture, so I can take a hint)
The Reader
Milk
Other films I was wondering about:
Revolutionary Road
Doubt

This year it was my goal to see all of the Best Picture nominees...and it was the first Oscar ceremony I actually cared about. The only movies I didn't get to but wanted to were Frost/Nixon and The Wrestler.
I agree with you on Benjamin Button. ZzZzzZz
Milk was excellent and Sean Penn was definitely Best Actor worthy. The Reader was interesting...but it's just not my kind of taste.
And, as far as Slumdog, GO SEE IT NOW!
