I Meant to Archive This Last Year…

Because I want to be able to link back to this in the future…I need to move my old Mission Oscar Snob 2012 page to a post! So here goes…

Mission: Oscar Snob 2012

I am currently attempting to watch every movie on EW’s 25 Movies You Need to See Before Oscar Night before the big show on February 26th. This page is where readers can track my mission status. The moveis that are crossed off have been seen. I will try to list dates if I can. Movies I have blogged about will include a link to the post!

This year I'm adding something new. I am going to personally add some movies to the list that I intend to watch in order to truly become an Oscar Snob in 2012. My main reasoning is that EW's list isn't perfect. Last year there were a few on the list that had no nominations, and similarly there were a few nominees that weren't on the list. My "official count" and main point of the challenge will be to watch the movies on EW's list above, but if I do see my personal additions I will also write about them in the posts and keep track of them here. I'll make special note of them in the posts and include my reasoning for adding them to the mission.

Personal Additions

• The Adventures of Tintin
• 50/50                                 (No Nominations)
• Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy     2/24/12
• Pina
• A Better Life     2/25/12
• Warrior     2/25/12
• Nominated Short Films: Animated     2/12/12
• Nominated Short Films: Live Action     2/12/12

Maybe this year I will remember to archive this as a post the actual end of my mission! …I think you know what post is next!
