I've managed to see almost every film nominated in every category. There are a few exceptions. I haven't seen Defiance which has one nomination for original score. I also missed Bolt nominated for animated feature. I did see all the animated and live action shorts but none of the documentary shorts. And I saw two each of the foreign language film and documentary nominations. So of 51 films nominated I saw 39 and missed 12 (4 of which were shorts). Not bad. I saw all 15 films with multiple nominations.
What follows is what I'd like to see win each category, not what I think will win (I'm still working that out for my pool). These also aren't my favorites for the year, I'm limiting this to films that are nominated.
