I have always been boringly high lowbrow or low highbrow in my taste in film, which is why so many of my winners have been Oscar nominees, though less frequently Oscar winners.
This year I think the Academy is closer to my thinking than two years ago when no one except the AARP agreed with me on Joan Plowright in Mrs. Palfrey at the Clarement. :O
There are only six films this year that I really like - No country, Blood, Into the Wild, Diving Bell, Gone Baby Gone and others that I like with reservations - Atonement, Sweeney Todd, Michael Clayton, Eastern Promises, 3:10 to Yuma, Black Book, etc., etc.
As always, if you're looking for diversion, you'll see a lot more of it in others' lists here than mine. And that's fine with me.
