[7 OUT OF 46 FILMS REMAINING]-[6 DAYS TO OSCARS]

“The Ides Of March” gaining this nomination was enough of an honor, being one of my favorite films of 2011. In my opinion, this is the most well-rounded category compared to any other this year at the Academy Awards. It is unlikely “Ides” will win over “The Descendants” or “Moneyball”, but the competition in this category is some of the best and it is great to see these films honored with nominations.
