Have already seen: The Impossible ZDT Django Unchained Silver Linings Playbook Brave Don't really care if I ever see Lincoln. Looks so boring and I'm Lincolned out having just watched that National Geographic movie about his assassination. Will probably also never watch: Amour Beasts of the Southern Wild Les Misérables Most of the Best Animated Feature category |

Lincoln. I really have no interest. It seems pretty dull to me. Of the Best Picture nominees I've seen: Silver Linings Playbook Beasts of the Southern Wild Zero Dark Thirty Django Unchained Les Miserables I do plan on seeing Amour, Argo, and Life of Pi. Only one I didn't like of the nominated films was Beasts. Les Miserables is overrated and very flawed but I still "liked" it. Of other nominated movies I will see Flight, even though I don't think it looks that good, as well as The Master. |

I think you mean "2013 Oscar nominated movies", as it is the 2013 Oscars, but anyway.. Amour, A Royal Affair, No, War Witch, Searching for Sugar Man, How to Survive a Plague, The Gatekeepers, 5 Broken Cameras and The Invisible War are the movies that I never intend to watch. |

All the movies were/are 2012 releases. |

But the nominations were made in 2013. It's the age-old search engine Oscar query. |

Any of the shorts, documentaries (with the exception of Sugar Man), and most likely foreign films (Amour being the exception). Other than those, I'll eventually get to everything. |

There are none I am against seeing. I am rather excited to see a few of the documentary and foreign-language contenders, No in particular. |

Yes, and it doesn't make them narrow-minded. |

For some people, their time is valuable and thus it isn't worth it to waste said time watching movies they know they probably won't like. |

Yes, okay, I get the point, but isn't it worth to give something a try and decide then? Because if something is so acclaimed, are you not even curious why it is so acclaimed? |

When it comes to Lincoln for example, it's obvious why Hollywood nominated it/why it's acclaimed without ever needing to actually see it: - Directed by a legend and probably the most famous filmmaker of our time who fought for years to get the film made - Starring an actor who had won 2 Best Actor Oscars already - Tells the story of a famous historical figure |

Right and it feels like total Oscar bait and a biopic bore in advance. But it is totally not, it has crisp dialogue, doesn't deal with years of Lincoln's life and is as engaging as any thriller. |

Lecter's never disliked a movie that he already thought he might dislike. If he had, he wouldn't be so narrowminded in his view here. |

You spent half your night spewing misogynistic bile on Hollywood Elsewhere. Watching Lincoln would be a far more valuable use of time. |

And if by "half the night" you mean about 10 minutes or less of actual writing time, sure. Is it somehow against the law to not like a specific actor and why does not liking one get one labeled as hating all of the same gender? I obviously like women (see avatar). Some of them are beautiful, smart, etc. but some are also not those things. |

Maybe a few of the live-action short films, but other than those I'd be up for seeing any of the nominees. |

I'm on Lecter's side. There are movies I will not actively pursue to watch, but if it happens that they are on TV and I have nothing else to do, I will watch them too. The only movies I'm not watching (no matter if Oscar nomibated or not) are Almodovar ones since 2004, but that's another story. |
