Oscars 2007 Nominees

With just under a month to the Oscars it's time to look at this year's nominees and remember some of the good films of the last year. Since there are so many categories with many nominees, I'll not go into details just yet, but go through them very briefly.

However, in the following weeks I'll post reviews for many of the ones that curently don't have one on the blog and try to comment a little on possible winners. So just keep on visiting Movie Row as there'll be plenty for you to read.

As I write more and more reviews for nominated films, I'll link them to this post and viceversa for the sake of easy navigation.
