I'd participate, but I literally haven't heard of most of these movies. I makes me wonder how they are up for awards when nobody knows about them.

I'm with Taryn, I barely know most of these movies. I'm pretty sure Boyhood is going to win Best Picture though. That's one movie everyone knows and loves and the whole filming for 12(?) years thing gave it a big boost.

A lot of these movies shouldn't even be nominees in my opinion. But the reason you may have never heard of Boyhood is because it's an IFC Film. I think IFC is a minor marketing movie company, so it didn't get a lot of hype. But I strongly recommend watching this movie!! :D
