Weekly list to Best Picture nominees

I have not been obsessing on Dave Karger of Entertainment Weekly's online list ranking which movies are most likely to be nominated for Best Picture as I was last year, but I certainly am excited about the most recent list from December 13th. Two reasons; one, The Artist is number 1 on the list and I am seeing a screening Wednesday with the woman who rocks all screening passes -- Emily. Second of all, I have already seen six of the movies: the Help, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, Harry Potter, Ides of March and J Edgar (and it will be seven after Wednesday).

Hugo -- Martin Scorsese's adventure about an orphaned boy in 1930s Paris
