Oscar Wild

It's that time of year again. No, not the holiday season: It's time for you to get your ass in gear and watch all of the Oscar-nominated films so you can appear to be the educated one at your annual Academy Awards viewing party. "But how will I ever find all of these films?" we hear you asking. We know; some of them have been out of theaters — and not yet released on DVD — for months. And besides, it's just not the same watching them in your living room, no matter how big your flat-screen HDTV is.
