In compiling this year's "to watch" list, I encountered GoldDerby.com, a website designed to handicap the award chances of the assorted films. Call me crazy, but that seems as good a place as any to steal my list from. Looking at their results from last year, their odds to be nominated "standings" proved rather accurate, with 8 of their top 9 films actually being nominated... good enough for me. I will copy their whole list after the cut for posterity reasons, but do visit GoldDerby.com for more information. This is going to be a fun couple of months!
I will be posting my first run of reviews (for films I've already seen from the list) sometime this week.
Edit, 12/17/12: I'll be updating this post with links to the posted reviews, periodically. Some links may be broken, if the reviews haven't been posted as I update this post.
