With all the movies I've shared with you this year, I just had to post this list of 50 movies you must see before Oscar Night. A dear friend of mind who is in the movie business makes an awards season list every year, and this year I asked him if I could share it with you. I'm so glad he said yes.
This list is based on critics awards and industry buzz, and I'm doing my best to work my way through the list. What have you seen? What are your favorites?
