Oscars? Meh.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t care about the Oscars this year. In 2006, according to this page, there were 354 movies released. I saw 9 of them in theatres: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, X-Men: The Last Stand, Casino Royale, Borat, V for Vendetta, The Illusionist, A Prairie Home Companion, Marie Antoinette, and The Notorious Bettie Page. Of those, I didn’t enjoy Borat, I was unimpressed by Marie Antoinette, and I thought The Illusionist, Dead Man’s Chest, and The Last Stand didn’t live up to what they could have been. The two movies from that list I really loved — Prairie Home Companion and V for Vendetta — didn’t get any Oscar nominations. So, meh.

I don’t have a lot of movie-watching time, but I do like to keep on top of the stuff considered really great. Which movie released in 2006 that I haven’t seen do you think is really worth seeing?
