  3. I've seen mist of these now, but not all, and I'm thrilled to see Tyrannosaur rewarded.

  4. I've seen depressingly few of these. Must get watching a hell of a lot of films before the year is over or my BEST OF 2011 list is going to be crap! Tyrannosaur and Kill List are my priorities!

  5. I've been wanting to see Tyrannosaur since it won at Sundance, and its good to see A Separation win.

  7. @ Colin - I still have lots to see. Tyrannosaur, TTSS and Shame from the Best Pic group. Heard great things about the winner, but I hope my expectations aren't too high, considering the company it beat. Though I'm still blind to some of these - I thought the categories were well represented. Best Technical Achievement is really strong, and it was great to see some love for Ramsay for KEVIN. Stunning film.

    @ Pete - The same two are top priorities for me, too. Shame and TTSS are coming to my cinemas, but those two have no scheduled release.

    @ Bonjour - Yeah it's great to see A Separation win again. It has won everything - Berlin, critical and audience awards in Sydney and Melbourne. It has to be a lock for Best Foreign, and I'd like to see what beats it. One of the best films of the last 5 years - but I'll have to see it again!

    @ Alex - So he's pretty good, huh?
