I don't think I've seen anything but Harry Potter and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. There aren't a lot I want to make a huge effort to see, though.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I only skimmed the noms, but all that stood out to me was Nolte in The Warrior. I do want to see Moneyball, but I'm leery of actual baseball content. I guess I'll see Dragon Tattoo eventually too.

Actually, I lied -- I'd very much like to see The Artist, Hugo, and Albert Nobbs. And I will probably see Jane Eyre (which I want to see anyway), Bridesmaids, and Midnight in Paris before the show.
I'm not sure I can watch Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close even now, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jane Eyre was fine, but not my favorite adaptation.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Man, I've only gotten one of the 4 or 5 statements I need to do my taxes. I am so behind the curve.

Aw, even with Fassbender? That's a shame. I have to watch it, though. I watch every adaptation eventually.

My sister is booking a stripper. This stripper. Pictures are so far SFW, but I do see dickbombing in the far background of #6. And for some reason, the slideshow does not go in order of the picture titles.

What for? Is this a cheering up your mom thing?!

I like Fassbender fine, but I don't have the level of fandom obsession with him. I think the problem is that the book is pretty dense and I know it well, so to make a movie of it, they have to condense it. They spent like three minutes at Lowood.

Ugh. Yeah, I'm still waiting for the perfect adaptation that manages not to cut out or minimize any one part without being six hours long.
