Of the ten films receiving nominations for the Oscar, INCEPTION, is my choice. It is, perhaps, the best movie experience ever.
I've seen the following other nominees:
True Grit - Great remake and fast-paced western. Jeff Bridges and the young girl are both terrific
Social Network - Interesting story, but nothing special
I plan to view the following, ahead of the Oscar award:
King's Speech
The Fighter
127 Hours
Have no interest in seeing the remainder of nominees:
The Kids Are All Right
Winter's Bone
Toy Story 3

The Kids Are All Right
Winter's Bone
Toy Story 3
I've seen all three. Obviously all very different, but all very good. Winter's Bone was terrific and one tough flick.
All three were better than Inception IMO. ;)
