My Thoughts

• Again, The Master and Zero Dark Thirty go 1, 2. Critics don't vote for the Oscars, though.
• I will admit that I haven't even heard of four of these movies. Always count of the AV Club to throw a wrench into the end year lists.
• For a while, Rachel Weisz's performance in The Deep Blue Sea was an Oscar frontrunner. That's come and gone.
• I'm hoping all the year end love for Looper gets it into the Original Screenplay list.
