25 MOVIES TO SEE BEFORE OSCAR NIGHT

Every year, I make a considerable effort to see the films that are up for BEST PICTURE, as well as all of the performances that are nominated.

Once in a great while, a few slip through the cracks. But generally my average is remarkably close to 100%.

EW’S resident ACADEMY AWARDS predictor DAVE KARGER has a list of 25 motion pictures that you should see before OSCAR night.

Here are the ones that I wholeheartedly agree with, in order…

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
UP IN THE AIR
PRECIOUS
THE LAST STATION
THE MESSENGER
AN EDUCATION
THE LOVELY BONES
JULIE & JULIA
CRAZY HEART
IN THE LOOP

Time to pull out all the stops. There’s only one more week to go.
