The Right Next to Mars Oscars (aka Keeping Blogger Open in a Window While at Work)

For my own amusement, I’ve decided to create a list of Oscar nominees in the major categories if I were in charge. I know I already listed my Performances of the Year (1, 2, and 3) and Top Films of the Year, but if you’ve been wondering what the Oscar noms would look like if everyone in the Academy thought exactly like me—and what a magical world that would be (I kid, I kid)—well, then, here you go. (I left The Lives of Others off; since it won Best Foreign Film last year I figured it wasn’t eligible for anything this year.)
