Starboard Broadside

Last year, Nate put up an Oscars discussion thread which was very popular (104 comments by the end, though some of it wasn't awards-related). It's a break from the heavy politics and it's a chance for all our readers to talk about whatever they're thinking in real time. He's busy tonight, but he did do a short post on the expanded Best Picture list a month ago, so I've decided to post it again and see what happens. Note: I am not watching, and I've never watched them; so if I comment, it will largely be on the movies themselves, of the ones I've seen.

Anyway, here you go. Comment away.

PS: To reply directly to a comment, I think you can just type @[name of commenter], update: except without the brackets and just the name.
