Which movie is most do you think will win the most awards?

Who are the long shots of the nominees? 

What scene did you find the most memorable?
What gets your vote for best movie this year?

What performance by an actress or actor impressed you?

We'll have fun discussion comparing notes on the best (and perhaps worst) of movies.

We had a blast last time (and the time before too!) at Ryles, so time for another gathering of the Inquisitives over hot coffee and cool jazz. Come join old friends, and make new friends.
