Oscar Nominations 2014

In looking at the full list of nominations this year for the Oscar ceremony, I am pleased to see that I only have 3 movies that I need to see that got more than 1 nomination and these films are: Blue Jasmine, Grandmaster, and Lone Survivor (I am seeing Lone Survivor today). Then, of the films that got single nominations which will be easy for me to see (I always try to see everything I can, but I never count the foreign films, documentaries, or shorts in this list and this year, I am also excluding 2 of the animated films because I dont know how readily available they will be), there are only 6 more films that I need to see. And, to be honest, since 2 of those 6 films are just up for best song, I can just find the song online and compare them if I have to, so that only leaves a list of 9 (or 7 if you take out the song nominations) that I need to see in 6 weeks. That seems very easy.
For the complete list, you can find it anywhere on the web now (the 2 easy spots are imdb.com or oscar.com )
