Some interesting choices, but pretty much what was to be expected. Though it is a bit sad to see the exclusion of the wonderful An Education, and the brilliant A Serious Man in the Best Picture categories.

We have had formal reviews of several of these titles, and will likely have reviews of many more in the coming awards months.
